<p>Also, would applying early decision increase my chances of getting accepted?</p>

<p>Assuming that 4.0 really means all As (and your school is not one of those on a 6 point scale and you had all Cs :wink: ), then you would be competitive and it comes down to the essay. But that is true for the vast majority of the applicants. In-state male gives you an edge as would early decision.</p>

<p>Thank you for your response, Tjmom. And yes, my school is based on a 4.0 GPA. Therefore I have maintained straight A’s through high school.</p>

<p>I think you are in good shape for W&M as an in-state male, who has attended summer camp there, whether or not you apply ED.</p>

6

<p>Any more opinions?</p>

<p>How did you do in the summer chemistry course?
You have a good shot of getting in. If you know that’s where you want to go apply ED.</p>
