<p>The good news is with a school like W&M that practices holistic review, there’s no minimum criteria that you must meet in order to be admitted and every applicant is considered in full regardless of GPA or SAT. Just realize going in that applying to selective schools means the odds are against any given applicant from the start. As long as you’re realistic about your chances and smart about the schools to which you apply you’ll end up in a great place.</p>
