<p>I would say towards the reach side of ‘match’.</p>

<p>Your ECs are pretty good…</p>

<p>if 95/100 only puts you in the top 20%, then I’m not sure what to think about that, but 95/100 is generally good.</p>

<p>Your SATs (1270) are low, and pushing the 25th percentile for W&M.</p>

<p>thanks for your input. much appreciated :slight_smile: </p>

<p>i believe at least 20%, more likely like the top 10 or 15%. I was just going hard on myself to see where I would fall. Plus, I do go to a top notch college-prep school so the competition is very fierce. But I really don’t know my class ranking/percentage but its within the top tier of students.</p>

<p>And yes, I get very good grades but my SATs are holding me back. Even though I am re-taking them in october, I hope that they can see the strength in all my other areas and give me some leeway when it comes to SATs.</p>

<p>If you get in, it’ll be because of your ECs.</p>

<p>That’s usually pretty hard to accomplish though…I would give you less than a 50% chance of getting in. The SAT is just a little too low for OOS.</p>
