<p>presuming you're out-of-state, although that shouldn't matter too much for w&m:
your gpa and leadership abilities are strong (especially with going to such a big school & holding that many positions), and if your ACT score improves you actually may have a good shot, about 50%.</p>

<p>Out state actually matters very much for W&M as it is a state school.</p>

<p>Out of state you are a reach probably with those SAT scores but being a male will help a lot</p>

<p>I should probably clear a few things up, and perhaps your judgments will change. </p>

<p>-I meant 750 total in my school, only 180 in my class
-I am out of state, from Ohio</p>

<p>If I brought my SAT or ACT up, would that significantly improve my chances?</p>

<p>Yes you need to get SAT scores up</p>
