my essay compared all of my failures to a broken lego, and how i built myself up through legos. my w&m essay was about fanfiction and how it’s helped me be a creative and analytical writer, all while balancing high school.

!!!some important info!!!
i applied ed1, visited two times, had an interview, and met with the area representative when she came to my school. my college counselor has been saying since junior year that i should ed w&m and she felt comfortable with me EDing (she sends a person every year).

let me know your thoughts!! :slight_smile:

Congrats on your accomplishments. You look to be a competitive applicant.

In all honesty the guidance counselors at your elite boarding school with a history of sending students to W&M will have the best idea of your chance of admission.

there is no ranking, and everything is unweighted.
