<p>I would really appreciate any response to this. Hopefully it's not a pain.</p>

<p>I'm in love with W&M and am applying early decision. I'm a white out-of-state (PA) female, so that hurts my odds, I know. Oh, and I got an (optional) interview there, too, in which I think I came off pretty well. </p>

<p>Basics:
SAT: 2240 (Math 640, Writing 800, CR 800)
SAT II: Literature 760, US History 620
Rank: 4/205
GPA: 4.0</p>

<p>Classes:
-All honors all four years, except for gym/health and senior theology, both of which are untracked and mandatory.
-4 APs
-Two college courses senior year, which will get me 12 credits. I'm one of seven students chosen for this.</p>

<p>Extracirriculars:
CSC (10, 11, 12)
Peer Mediation, certified (11, 12)
NHS (11, 12; current President)
Soccer (9, 10)
Tennis (11, 12)
Rugby (11, 12)</p>

<p>Randoms:
-Scholarship to leadership camp this summer (I went)
-Commended Student for PSAT (haven't found out about SF)
-Writing's my strong suit; essay should be good
-Magna cum laude on National Latin Exam</p>

<p>I mostly worry about my SAT II History, my SAT Math, and my lack of committment in extracirriculars. Please give me your opinion on my odds if you can. Thanks.</p>

<p>Looks good to me:) Your SATII don't really matter since it's optional(and i truly mean optional). I had the same question about SATII's a while ago. I'm not an expert or anything but you look strong.</p>

<p>Oh hey, you don't have to be an expert. :) Thanks for your response, I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>Oh, and I forgot to mention, I received awards of excellence in theology, English, and AP U.S. History. If that means anything.</p>

<p>Did you only take the NLE one time?</p>

5

<p>I took it once freshman year (when I won), then soph year, where I missed by a little bit, I think. I took Latin in junior year but unfortunately could not take the test because I wasn't in town for it. Would that change my chances or look bad?</p>

<p>you'll definitely be competitive... make sure you put enough time into your essays to do them justice.</p>

7

<p>It certainly won't hurt your chances; it's just that taking it all four years and getting magna cum laude (or summa cum laude as the case may be) looks better.</p>

8

<p>Stressing like whoa and bumping to see if anyone else had an idea?</p>

<p>I'm a Sophomore at William and Mary...............take that into consideration, but I do think you will get accepted. My "prediction" is YES. I love it here. William and Mary is a great school. Best of luck to you.</p>
