<p>I applied to my first choice (WM) early decision and was deferred, so I was wondering what my chances were in this next round of applicants and my other top choices. I am an in-state resident of VA. Also, a key aspect of my transcript is that I have moved through three different states in the past few years, so that affected my whole high school career. I have an alumni recommendation for WM and great recs for other schools. My personal essay is pretty good and has been read by my english teacher, peers, college students, and a relative who is an english professor. I also am sending in an art supplement to each school and doing every supplement possible. In my common app I wrote two extra essays explaining how moving affected my schoolwork and how I struggle with standardized tests, but am working hard to improve. My general question is for my chance of getting into WM, but also the other schools. For WM I have an interview on file, continued letter of interest, and communication with my area director of admissions. And also, what else could I do? Thank you. :) </p>

<p>Hey! I hope you get into WM man. It’s a wonderful place to be and one that I currently attend. Consider sending an update to the school if you have done anything significant in mock trial, model un, theater, robotics, or your other activities. When I applied, half of the competitions we went to were after the application date. Anything helps. You clearly are a motivated student, perhaps consider applying to some test-optional schools as well. Unfortunately statistically speaking, the number of people accepted in RD that are deferred in the ED round are somewhat low, but that doesn’t mean you should stop trying. Good luck with your college applications!</p>
