<p>In my mind, being accepted to William and Mary would be like tacos falling from the sky.....it probably isn't going to happen haha. But can anyone tell me if I stand ANY sort of chance against this year's competitive applicant pool? This is a huge, huge reach school for me, but I applied anyways just in case miracles are possible lol. :P</p>

<p>lurn2spel, given that you already applied the best thing to do is just wait for a few more weeks until decisions are released. At this point, there’s nothing you can do to alter your application for better or worse. It’s just in our hands now and soon enough you’ll know the answer to your question.</p>
