<p>It just dawned on me that while it seemed like the typical super reputable eastern private LAC, William and Mary is a public school.</p>
<p>It's one of two reaches I plan on applying to, the other being Washington & Lee University. History is huge to me, and these two schools are in pretty tight competition at this point, and if I get accepted to neither or both there will be a difficult decision to be made.</p>
<p>In short, here are my stats:</p>
<p>3.952 on a 4.0, our real GPA system is insane, credit my counselor for converting it.
One of the most challenging courseloads a school of 250 can offer
An A in an AP class offered online by Northwestern University's Center of Talent Development (regrettably there was a miscommunication and I was unable to take the test).
30 ACT
SAT was 640 640 690, I don't plan on submitting it since it's obviously not as good as the ACT.
Varsity Baseball and Scholastic Bowl captain for 3 years each.
2 Varsity Football Letters
Illinois Governmental Internship Program intern, I'm interning in a congressional office 4 days a week (8 hours a day) for this, the first semester of my Senior Year.
Not a whole lot of volunteer experience, which hopefully won't kill me, but I assistant coached a grade school baseball team free of charge for the 3 weeks before I had to leave for my internship last summer.</p>
<p>I could write more, but those are the main talking points, and if I were to submit a bunch of smaller honors from the school I would be afraid I would look either untruthful or cocky, which I'm sure are no-nos.</p>
<p>My main question is will being from out of state, while it doesn't hurt for privates (I hear) hurt me too badly with William and Mary?</p>
<p>I've already been accepted to Washington & Jefferson in PA, and I'm told I'm solid for UIUC. Allegheny College and Knox College are the other schools I will be applying to, possibly Gettysburg College, but I'm not yet positive on that.</p>
<p>Help me out if the thought moves you, thanks.</p>
