I am only hesitant of being accepted regular decision because I currently have b’s on my mid-year grade report, but have some friends that were accepted early with lower test scores and less extracurriculars. It would be extremely helpful to know what my chance is of getting in, William and Mary is currently my top choice!
I live in VA as well and toured/interviewed w/ W&M over the summer. The assistant dean said the 25th percentile for the SAT is about a 1250, so especially if you’re in-state, I’d say your chances are pretty good. B’s are not commensurate with failure and I’m sure W&M realizes this. I applied RD as well. Write great essays to assuage your worry. Good luck!!
Chance me William and Mary please

Letter of recommendation from a state level senator
Nominated to United States Naval Academy by my district’s house of reps member. (Notified admission counselor about receiving it and had it added to application).
Honest answers greatly appreciated, rather have a realistic idea than be overconfident from kind but not true responses.
Any input would be tremendous, also if chances could be given for university of Richmond as well
Thank you
I think you’ll get in. Your SAT isn’t great for WM but your gpa overshadows it.
I’d say you’re a good candidate.
Wish me luck too.
