<p>Hello once again! I'm from Buchanan County, Virginia, and I'm interested in W&M (Interested as in I'm going to apply tommorow :D.)</p>
<h2>A quick glance at my stats:</h2>
<p>ACT w/ Writing: 31</p>
<p>SAT II: U.S. History: 650 World History: 770</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 4.0 (School does not calculate a weighted GPA; if they did, it would be higher.)</p>
<p>Class Rank: 1 of 195</p>
<p>AP's: US H: 3 Euro H:3 World H: 5 (I never took any AP history classes; my school only offered AP English and AP Environmental Science. I studied on my own when I had time.)</p>
<p>Senior Course Load: Toughest possible at school (Dual-Credit English and Pre-Cal, Calculus, Geography, Physics, AP Environmental Science, Advanced Topics in Math, Biology II.) Took EVERY hard course offered.</p>
<h2>Awards: Quest Bridge National College Match Finalist, WYMT Mountain Student Achiever, Graduation Marshall, Voted Smartest in Class 4 years straight, Who's Who in Band and Honor Roll.</h2>
<p>Extracuriculars: I worked for the majority of this year at the local supermarket to help pay the bills; when I started it was to buy a car, but the economy said "nope!" Before that I was in band as a section leader and now I'm on the academic team. I don't have anything stellar like 1st chair state jazz flute, but I'm always busy with EC's.</p>
<p>Volunteer work: A few small side projects such as tutoring and some church work, but nothing major.</p>
<p>Summer Activities: Local College Camp Program</p>
<p>Essays: I tried! I think they're good. I Talked about my grandpa and how he influenced me growing up in Appalachia.</p>
<p>Recommendations: Not bragging, but they should be superb (best kid they've ever seen.)</p>
<p>Interview: None</p>
<p>State: I live in rural Virginia, go to school in Eastern Kentucky.
School: Public without many AP's :(
Race: White</p>
<h2>Other: 1st generation to an actual campus. My mother is enrolled in college online part time.</h2>
<p>I visited William and Mary when I was a sophomore and LOVED it! I have applied to a few other universities, but I have saved W & M for the very end! What do you think my chances are? I'm worried that either A) my lack of AP classes (even though I tried to make up for that on my own) and B) my lack of a full four years of a foreign language will hinder me. I know you are probably very busy so thank you for your time and God bless! :)</p>
