<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>I think that your ECs are really good and should give you an advantage in this.
W&M: Match
UVA: Reach
American University: Low reach/match
URichmond: Match

<p>W&M: I think your test scores are killing your chances at W&M. Your only real chance there is to retest and show significant improvement - either get the ACT to 30+ or the SAT M+CR to 1300+. There isn’t really anything else that can do it for you at this point.</p>

<p>UVA: they will love the 4.0 UW and high class rank, so you’re already close, your chances aren’t too bad at all. Better than your W&M chances, definitely. Bringing either test score up slightly (28+ ACT or 1800+ SAT) should be enough for UVA, with your transcripts. Even without retesting you have a shot.</p>

<p>American: you’re in.</p>

<p>Richmond: probably WL. </p>

<p>You will almost certainly be accepted at AU.
The other ones are all reaches, unless you improve your test scores.</p>
