Hey! I really hated when I got views but no responses on my Chance posts, so I’ll chance you (with my limited knowledge of W&M.)

Your test scores aren’t bad, but they aren’t too impressive. Also, your class rank isn’t amazing. I don’t mean to sound harsh, just some constructive feedback.

An Alumni recommendation is great. Depending on how enthusiastic the Alum’s recommendation was, this will give you a great boost. Your GPA is solid, and signing up for an interview is also a +, letting them know you’re very interested is important.

Finally, ECs are average for a W&M applicant. If your essays are strong, I would say W&M is a low reach for you. Your chances can still rise depending on your interview, so keep doing what you’re doing! :slight_smile:
