<p>I feel my strengths are my test scores and ECs. My weak point is obviously my GPA, I average A-/B+s, all in APs and I'm in the IB diploma programme. My coursework is rigorous, some of the hardest at my high school. </p>

<p>I don't know if this counts at all with W&M, but I'm an English ex-pat, and I know they have a strong connection to Britain, especially with the Joint Programme. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Write a good essay and you would have a good chance. Make sure you stand out. Chance back?</p>

<p>I think that your ECs are solid, and ACT score is pretty good for these schools, but I think you should work extra hard for the rest of year to pull ur gpa up as much as you can. I think if you can get that up and like jetsWIILLsoar pointed out, a good essay that makes you stand out will definently give you a good chance. </p>

<p>Chance back?
