<p>I know that my chances aren't great, but maybe they're sort of good?..ish? Anyway, thanks for letting me know! ^_^</p>
<p>Oh and one more thing...since I skipped, it would not have been possible for me to take calculus. In addition, skipping a year also made it so I could have taken, at a maximum, 3 AP classes (English, Government, and VA&US History), so it's not like I could have done 6 but only chose to do one. I have also only gotten one B in my high school career (as a freshman) if that means anything. Thanks again!!!</p>
<p>I would be very surprised if you are not accepted ED to William and Mary. Please post and let us know how it goes for you. My opinion is not based on any one thing about your stats, but rather everything combined. This is a very hard and stressful time, I'm sure. I think you are going to be fine. Good Luck! William and Mary is such an awesome school. You are going to love it.</p>
<p>Thanks for responding, that makes me feel better. ^_^ Hopefully they'll send the letters out early like they have in previous years so the wait won't be as long!</p>
<p>Yeah I think you have a great chance, everything is great except maybe the SAT score, but you have the instate, EC's and grades to make up for that.</p>
<p>I don't really have one single reason, I just felt that I was ready for college and since I took 4 high school classes in middle school and an english class over the summer I had enough credits. As for class rank, my old class is a bit more competitive than my current class, so that would have done down some had I not skippped.</p>
<p>Interesting that one poster cited her SAT scores as maybe the "weakest link", Funny becaue I zeroed in on her class rank and her not taking AP Calc by Senior year. I still feel that this applicant will be accepted and I hope she posts and let's us know how things went for her.</p>
