<p>Hey all, new here...</p>

<p>I'm a junior in high school with a 4.0 GPA. Right now I'm really lacking in knowledge of the admissions process although I do have a decent idea of where I want to go. I typically get high As in English, history, foreign language, electives, and math. I typically stuff in the B-B+ range in science though. Also, I'm not taking an honors math course this year... just not really up for it... (on that note, here is my class load through high school so far)</p>

<p>Freshman Year
Spanish IV Honors
Geometry w/Trigonometry Honors
Biology Honors
English-9 Honors
U.S. History I Honors
Drawing (Elective)
Mythology (Elective)</p>

<p>Sophomore Year
Spanish V Honors
Algebra II
Chemistry Honors
American Literature Honors
World History Honors
Civics/Government Honors
Travel marketing (Elective)</p>

<p>Junior Year
AP Spanish
Pre-Calculus
Physics Honors
AP English I
AP U.S. History
Business/Economics Honors
Journalism (Elective)</p>

<p>Extra-curricular activities:
Model U.N. Team-(Also counts as a class, got a A- first semester sophomore year and an A second semester sophomore year)
Model Congress
Class Vice President
School Newspaper
Also a couple of un-noteworthy activism clubs</p>

<p>Sports-None... I'm hopelessly lacking in athletic ability. xD</p>

<p>SAT/PSAT scores
PSAT (Sophomore year, colleges don't see this one I think)-200
PSAT (Junior year)-222 (Qualified for NMS)
SAT-Taking it in March</p>

<p>Where I'd like to go..? Well... due to my lack of ability in the practical arts/considering my interests, I'm probably going to end up with some sort of liberal arts major with a focus on language/writing/history/business oriented courses. I've looked at William and Mary and it seems nice. I like the courses they offer and I've considered going there.</p>

<p>So... sorry if that was a mouthful/I rambled. Specifically, I'd like to know what my chances of getting into William and Mary are. Moreover, I'm curious as to what other colleges would suit the sort of areas I focus on and where I have a good shot of getting into.</p>

<p>In terms of course selection, you’ve done a great job selecting courses so far. We’d encourage you to continue on that route your senior year and pursue additional AP courses (we recommend that you try to take the most rigorous schedule your senior year so 4 APs woudl be a good goal given you’ve taken 3 your junior year) including AP Calculus. 80% of the students we admit graduate in the top 10% of their high school class so they are obtaining mostly As and likely some Bs here and there.</p>

<p>Sounds like you are committed to your extracurricular activities and have already pursued some leadership opportunities in student government. Follow the course for your senior year. Continue in your activities and continue to pursue leadership positions. The fact that you are not involved in athletics is not a big deal. We do not look for students to have pursued particular extracurricular activities.</p>

<p>We’d encourage you to visit campus when you can to learn more about W&M, take a tour, sit in on a class, and even consider visiting campus this summer to participate in an optional on-campus interview. </p>

<p>As for other colleges, you need to consider location, size, campus life, etc. There are tons of wonderful liberal arts colleges out there all of which have unique campuses, programs, and characteristics. Students who apply to W&M tend to also look at University of Virginia (especially if they are in-state), Georgetown, UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, and other similar schools.</p>
