<p>I'm looking at the College of William and Mary as an incoming freshman next year and am a rising senior currently. I have a 3.79 unweighted GPA and a 3.96 weighted GPA. I have taken the ACT twice and my highest composite is a 32. I also took SAT subject tests and got a 720 on Math Level 1 and a 770 on Math Level 2. I have participated in multiple mission trips in the area and have volunteered at the local hospital and community college. Most of my classes are also AP's or dual enrollment, with mostly a's and a couple b's. I have been photography editor for the yearbook for two years and will be editor in chief next year. I am president of the French club and Vice President of the beta club. I am also a member of the french, English, and science honors societies. Thanks for your input!</p>
<p>male or female? It looks a little slim for uva, but william and mary is possible, especially if you are male and in-state (even just in state). just my two cents</p>
<p>Female!! but in state. is there anything i could do to improve?</p>
<p>The bad news: I’m not sure why, but WM receives about twice as many applications from young women as they do from young men. So even though they try to keep the incoming class somewhat balanced, it still tends to skew female - and that also translates to an admissions advantage/disadvantage according to the number of applications they get from men and women.</p>
<p>The good news: an ACT of 32 and an unweighted GPA of 3.8 make you very competitive for an in-state applicant. And because state law requires 2/3 IS students, you are competing against a smaller number of applicants for a larger number of available seats.</p>
<p>So, obviously,keep your grades up, but you’re clearly qualified. What you really need to do is distinguish yourself among the applications. Typically this is achieved through the essay; you need personality to come through in a way that your transcripts and test scores and c.v. simply don’t show. They’ll already look at your numbers and say, “she’ll do fine here.” What you now need is for them to read your essay and say, “man, I’d love to listen in on the discussions in her classes… she’ll be pushing it in good directions.”</p>
