<p>From my understanding, W&M adcoms view the ACT composite as opposed to individual sections. Your ACT composite score > your SAT superscored because of your low math score. </p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Do you think I have a chance with my sort of low gpa? </p>

4

<p>Forgot to add that I volunteer at a rescue squad and have been going to night school since june to become an EMT. I take my practical exams in November! </p>

5

<p>what is your SAT score now? you are in the low range of the average SAT scores. But if you are applying early, you should have a better chance of getting in</p>

6

<p>I took it again and got 2040 superscore
720 reading
590 math
730 writing </p>

<p>Math is obviously not my forte :/</p>

7

<p>Do you have any idea where your rank is? I think 80% or so of our incoming classes are ranked in the top 10%, so a good class rank helps.</p>

<p>I’d say you’re pretty likely to get in though, and notifications should come soon! Good luck!</p>

I go to an extremely competitive high school.

I was deferred admission and when I spoke to my admission dean he said it was because of how I compared to my school. So basically class rank.

Not necessarily just grades-based class rank. They specifically say they will look at test scores in context of your HS peers as well to get an idea of expectations, preparation, etc.
