Do you think WM will accept me?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I keep freaking out about the whole college thing and i wonder if i am worrying in vain. I am in the process of applying to WM, WFU, Princeton, Cornell, and Yale. I know that the last three are long shots, but what do you think...</p>

<p>GPA: unweighted: 4.0
weighted: 4.2928
SAT: math: 690
verbal: 800
writing:690
total: 2180 the old way it's a 1490
class rank: 2/450
e.c.: marching band (drum captian)
indoor drumline
gifted advisory board (v.p.)
wind ensemble
so many honor societies...national, spanish, chemistry(president), math
What are my chances of getting into at least one of those schools?<br>
by the way, i live in VA</p>

<p>W&M is a match and possible reach. I doubt it's a real safety for anyone. But your location is definitely a pro because they like to be diverse in their acceptance towards in-state kids. The reason why I say it might be a reach is because GPA doesn't account for everything at W&M. It all depends what type of students they are looking for this year. Good luck though.</p>

<p>Virginia parent here. I know several kids with your stats who got into WFU and Wm and Mary last year if your essays were good and recs OK--I would say Matches. You are OK from Virginia Beach although sometimes NOVAs don't get exactly treated equitably due to high demand and many qualified kids per school. How bad could your essays be with your writing scores? Also don't worry about that 3 in AP English with your 800 Verbal and good job on that Calc 5. Could be a plus for you in placement in courses. They are both fine colleges that offer a lot of wonderful learning opps with great peers even compared to your Reach schools. Good luck and happy outcomes.</p>
