Chance me please

<p>I am a white male from the Midwest. Junior. I'm not your typical over achiever.</p>

29 Composite ACT, 36 Math ACT
Top 30th percentile class rank</p>

<p>EC's:
State champion in tennis
Tennis captain
Work with underprivileged kids for volunteering
Volunteer frequently in other places (will log 100+ hours total this summer)</p>

<p>Other:
Nationally ranked tennis player, 1 star on TRN
Fluent in several languages (English is not native)</p>

<p>ACT is okay overall; it could be a little higher. So you aren’t in the top 10 or 20? Do you know your exact rank? Out of state is pretty competitive. Do you have any hooks or academic extracurricular involvement? I think you have a shot, but I’d really work on bringing that ACT composite up a bit. Maybe try taking a practice SAT and seeing how you do on it.</p>

<p>i am exactly 30th percentile. i have some academic achievements and alot of sports recognitions. but thanks for the help</p>

<p>“Nationally-ranked” doesn’t mean as much as it used to, but if you think you could play on the W&M team (historically a top-75ish team), you should contact the coach. Admissions standards for recruited athletes can be lower than for the general applicant pool, and a coach can slot a marginal applicant for admission if he really, really wants that player. That’s usually reserved for blue-chippers, but you never know how a coach’s recruiting class is shaping up, so it never hurts to get yourself on his radar. Good luck.</p>
