<p>Hi, can someone tell me if I have a chance of getting into William and Mary? I'm a senior this year. I am a white male and I live in virginia. My unweighted gpa is 3.7 and my weighted gpa is 4.1. My superscore is 2000: 690 reading, 670 math, 640 writing. I got a 720 on the us history subject test and a 720 on the english literature subject test. I'm the president of the nhs and the president of the german club (I was the secretary last year too). I'm in the science nhs, the german nhs, my school's honor council, and the forensics team. I am also an actor and having been active in my school's theatre dept. since my sophomore year. I won the school's award for most improved actor for my performance in the spring play (spring 2012). I've taken almost all of the hardest classes that I can take. I've taken 3 aps so far and I'm in another 3 currently. I got 3s on english language and world history and I got a 4 on us history, which makes me an ap scholar. I'm in ap biology, ap english lit, ap government, honors physics, german 4, band 4, religion 4, and statistics 1 this year. Band and religion are the only non-honors/ap classes I am taking right now. I've received many national german exam awards. I got 1 C my sophomore year, but I onlt got 1 B last year (junior year). My school doesn't rank, but I'm in the top 10 of my class (approximated). My letters of recommendation are good and I think my essays are excellent. I didn't apply ED, but I wish I did.... Do I have a decent chance as a regular decision applicant? I really want to go to W&M!
Thanks!</p>
<p>^ I also go to a Catholic high school, so I don’t get as much weight as public school students do in my area</p>
<p>yea! you sound exactly like me, but im a girl and im out of state
since youre in state, you have much better chances than me, unfortuantely haha</p>
<p>W&M: High match</p>
<p>Do you have a safety?</p>
<p>Thanks! I got a no from UVa though so I feel nervous. They only accepted one person from my whole school! My safety is vt, and I’m not worried about that. I’m a legacy there.
What exactly is a high match? Better or worse than a match?
I wrote my essays about my job, wearing a tutu in front of 1000 people for the spring play, and about how I was almost on teen jeopardy twice</p>
<p>A high match is worse than a match. UVA was a high match, until you were rejected.</p>
<p>Thank you
I can only hope now haha</p>
<p>I’m applying to William and Mary too! I think William and Mary is a high match for you, being in state will work to your advantage. The admissions office seems to have a very holistic way of reviewing applications and like quirky applicants. If you made your essays unique and well written (which it sounds like you did) that will help. Best of luck!!!</p>
