<p>I live in VA. & I'm currently a junior. William & Mary is my first choice school & I'm pretty sure I'm going to apply early decision there. What are my chances there?</p>

<p>GPA - 3.6 weighted</p>

<p>Rank - top 25%</p>

<p>SAT I - 600 V / 600 M / 680 W = 1870 total
(first time taking it, but it'll definitely be well above 2000 before i apply)</p>

<p>SAT II - none yet.</p>

<p>I'm taking the hardest courseload available and will graduate with the completion of 8 AP's and the only Honors course available. I'm hoping to be an AP scholar.</p>

<p>EC - JV Soccer (9), Fall Theatre Production Costume Designer (9), Indoor Soccer League (10), School of the Arts (9), Model UN (10), Rams & Lambs [(tutoring) 10-11)], Key Club (11), New Horizon's Governor's School (11), Peer Partners (11), NHGS Student Advisory Board (11), and clarinet for 6 years.</p>

<p>I'm applying for the National Honor Society in March. I have work experience as a youth intern, community service hours with the Red Cross, and I'll graduate with the honor's program seal for the school division.</p>

<p>Tentative schedule for next year:
1. AP US Govt
2. AP Calc AB
3. AP Stats
4. AP Lit
5. AP Microeconomics
6. Physics
7. Business Law
8. Journalism</p>

<ul>
<li>I'm thinking about dropping journalism to take a psychology class over at W&M. Any thoughts on this?</li>
</ul>

<p>Your rank and GPA are going to work against you. 80% of admitted students are top 10%, and 97% are top 25%. That said, I got in with a GPA similiar to yours, so it's definitely possible. Work hard to get your GPA up 2nd semester, and the SAT could use a boost too (which you acknowledge you except that you will score higher).</p>

<p>Your schedule is good... try to find an EC or two that you can show strong multi-year commitment to in your application (a lot of them seem to be only 1 year long).</p>
