<p>you will be very competitive, good chance, IMO. Lots of people apply from NY though.</p>

3

<p>I think you’re a match! It’d be helpful if you were applying ED, but if it’s not your top choice then there’s no point</p>

4

<p>thanks guys!! makes me feel more confident, loll</p>

5

<p>Tsch. You are getting in. They will love you. I’m quite jealous, in fact.</p>

6

<p>wow, thanks walpurgisnacht; that means a lot!! haha, I’m sure you have great stats; you applying also?</p>

7

<p>Yup. Early Decision and everything. My Stats are decent…just not quite as awesome as yours…I have NO sports, simply because my genetically weak lungs would never allow me to do such a thing. I’m also a Caucasian female from Northern Virginia, so that doesn’t really help…</p>

<p>If you’re curious, I put more details up somewhere else on this William and Mary message board thingy…</p>

<p>hahaha, I have no sports either, lol… and as I posted before, your stats are amazing (and much better than mine)</p>

<p>Ugh. Having people tell you you’ll get in really doesn’t help, believe it or not. I’m hardwired to think I’ll fail all the time. It’s rather annoying.</p>
