Hi,
I’m an in-state male applying early decision to William and Mary. I live in the Northern Virginia area and come from a relatively competitive high school, especially for schools like W&M and UVA
-My cumulative high school GPA is 3.98 weighted, SAT is 1450 superscored
-Freshman year GPA: 3.56, 3 honors classes
-Sophomore year GPA: 4.2, 2 honors, 1 AP
-Junior year GPA: 4.35, no honors, 3 AP
-Senior year classes: AP Russian, AP Environmental science, applied calculus, AP Gov, AP Physics 2, astronomy, and AP Lit. Will likely end first quarter with a 4.5~ GPA
Two total, solid recommendations. Doing the supplemental. Interview done during the summer at the campus.
EC:
-4 years of rowing, one state championship, several individual medals, captain of the team senior year
-varsity swimming freshman year
-co-president of the philosophy club
-officer of a freshman orientation program at my school
-Swim coach for about 4 years
Primarily worried about a C+ in honors world history 1 in freshman year, but through sophomore and junior year I received only one B+ (APUSH) as my lowest grade so there is a positive grade trend as I’ve transitioned to a mostly straight A’s student. Also worried about not taking an AP or honors math class in my high school career as I’ve always been better at humanities and to a lesser degree science than at math (though I am a year ahead).
