-William and Mary- low reach

That’s really just a guess from me but I think any school that wouldn’t accept you is pretty crazy. I wouldn’t be too worried. I think you’ll be accepted by more then half of the schools you listed

You are a great applicant. Some of the schools on your list are reaches for 95% of applicants. Someone has to be admitted, so it might just as well be you. Best of luck.

@olivia237 - You’re attending one of the top public high schools in the country, and you have impressive credentials. I imagine you’ll get into several of these schools. You are not an average applicant, thus your chances will be much higher than average, even at the top schools.

You could get a better feel of your odds by looking as past acceptances from your school. In your case, that’s easy to do - this recently posted on the Parents Forum:

Good luck!
