<p>First of all, you’re out of state - so it’s a little tougher. But based on your scores, strength of class schedule, and class rank (assuming it’s a relatively large class), then I think you’re got about a 50% chance of admittance.</p>

<p>Here’s a tip if you don’t end up getting accepted though - transfer later. You would be amazed at how much easier it is to get into the school of your dreams as a transfer (they need to fill those empty spots to show a higher graduation rate, which factors into their rankings). Just be sure to do well at the college you’re transferring from - your grades really will be the determining factor at that point.</p>

<p>We know it’s minimal consolation but read our blog on being denied ([W&M</a> Blogs Decisions, Decisions — 2012 Deny Edition](<a href=“http://blogs.wm.edu/2012/03/26/decisions-decisions-2012-deny-edition/]W&M”>http://blogs.wm.edu/2012/03/26/decisions-decisions-2012-deny-edition/)). You are honestly in some very good company and we wish you all the best.</p>

<p>I want you to know that out of state admission to WM is a really tough ring to battle through, especially in the north east. I think the last time I asked, it’s about 60-70% of the applicants applying for 30% of the spots.
You were well qualified, and I’m sure you’ll have a ton of great choices.</p>
