Chances.

<p>I live in VA. & I'm currently a junior. William & Mary is my first choice school & I'm pretty sure I'm going to apply early decision there. What are my chances there?</p>

<p>GPA - 3.6 weighted</p>

<p>Rank - top 25%</p>

<p>SAT I - 600 V / 600 M / 680 W = 1870 total
(first time taking it, but it'll definitely be well above 2000 before i apply)</p>

<p>SAT II - none yet.</p>

<p>I'm taking the hardest courseload available and will graduate with the completion of 8 AP's and the only Honors course available. I'm hoping to be an AP scholar.</p>

<p>EC - JV Soccer (9), Fall Theatre Production Costume Designer (9), Indoor Soccer League (10), School of the Arts (9), Model UN (10), Rams & Lambs [(tutoring) 10-11)], Key Club (11), New Horizon's Governor's School (11), Peer Partners (11), NHGS Student Advisory Board (11), and clarinet for 6 years.</p>

<p>I'm applying for the National Honor Society in March. I have work experience as a youth intern, community service hours with the Red Cross, and I'll graduate with the honor's program seal for the school division.</p>

<p>Tentative schedule for next year:
1. AP US Govt
2. AP Calc AB
3. AP Stats
4. AP Lit
5. AP Microeconomics
6. Physics
7. Business Law
8. Journalism</p>

<ul>
<li>I'm thinking about dropping journalism to take a psychology class over at W&M. Any thoughts on this?</li>
</ul>

<p>i'm not in-state, so i can't really comment about how hard it is to get in. i would definately say to raise those SATs to at LEAST 2000 if not better. also try to find some leadership positions within your activities. keep in touch with admissions as well. i'd say you have a decent shot if you keep on track.</p>

<p>"... keep in touch with admissions as well."</p>

<p>What do you mean?</p>

<p>reply to their postcards if they send any, and request information. visit campus, take tours if you haven't already, etc. Also 1200 composite won't get you into w&m usually, so try upping those SATs. Also... 600+600+680=1880....</p>

<p>oh, oops - that was a typo. i meant 670 for writing; my total score was 1870.</p>

<p>With your GPA, I think you'll need at least 700 in each area of the SAT. Why haven't you taken any SAT II's? Are you planning to? Whatever you do, don't put all your eggs in one basket. W & M is extremely competitive. As it sounds like you live in the area, you may be taken admission there for granted, but I would not. W & M gets applicants from all over the country.</p>

<p>For SAT II's, I'm currently taking calculus and adv. spanish composition and conversation, so I'm planning on taking SAT II's for math and spanish. I'm also thinking about taking the US History one after I'm done with APUSH.</p>

<p>some do much better on the ACT. Try that test and if you do better, take it again to try and improve it.</p>

<p>okay, thanks for the suggestion!</p>
