<p>Your UW GPA is great, but your test scores could use some work. You should raise it if considering a school like William and Mary. Being in state will be to your advantage for those schools, which is no small matter. Your ECs certainly show dedication and seem to be more focused than a random list of things you do. Have you taken a rigorous courseload compared to the rest of the school? Colleges like William and Mary definitely do take rigor into consideration and you should definitely be challenging yourself in high school, even in senior year.</p>

<p>If you can write good essays, that is good because I believe it is my essay writing that made the difference in my application to W&M. If you raise your test scores to at least a 30, 31 I’d say you’d have a low reach, but obviously do as well as possible. Not too familiar with the other schools, but I think they would be good matches</p>
