<p>It’ll be tough since you’re OOS and from my understanding, the William & Mary Promise is engineered to not only save Virginians money, but increase enrollment of VA students. However, I’m sure W&M Admissions will be able to provide a better understanding of the promise. While your grades aren’t phenomenal, they aren’t bad, and you’re involved in EC’s and you have leadership so those will certainly help out a lot! Just try your best. Work hard on your essays (they’re very important), do the supplement essay and have fun with it! Finally, if you can, I recommend interviewing at The College because the interview is really a ton of fun and it is used in the admissions process. </p>

<p>Best of luck and the Tribe Family would love to have you!</p>
