<p>What's the average SAT scores for in state admissions... like, what would I need to get in to apply if I'm from VA?</p>

<p>The Princeton Review has it listed at 1343. I had a 1270 and got in, though.</p>

<p>are you from VA??</p>

4

<p>I sure am.</p>

<p>add/subtract 50 from W&M's average. that makes their scores somewhere between 1300-1400, and generally speaking the lower section of that is a guideline for in-state, the upper half out-of-state. when you're looking at public schools, in-staters can get by with slightly below average test scores.</p>

<p>I had a 1270, too. In-state.</p>

7

<p>i got 1370 instate</p>

<p>1270 is in the middle 50%... just because your score is lower than the average, doesn't mean you won't get in. Because, it's just that, the average. Meaning there are as many people above it as below it. People significantly above it get rejected, and people significantly below it get accepted.</p>

<p>You don't need a certain score to apply, they look at all parts of your application. What is lacking in one part can definitely be made up in another part.</p>

<p>I am applying regular decision with a 1260, but a 32 on my ACT (which is supposedly a 1420 SAT equivalent). I am also instate and 8/580 in my class...do I have a pretty good chance?</p>

<p>I know at least three people from my school who were accepted early decision and about five others who were deferred; everyone who applied as a lower GPA than I, but I'm pretty sure the ones who were accepted have a higher SAT. So basically, I'm counting on my ACT and rank to get in, along with the essays of course.</p>

<p>does anyone know if william & mary gives preference to less-represented out of staters? (i'm from hawaii--dunno if it's an under-represented state, though)</p>

11

<p>I had a 1480 and was 24/360 last year and got in (instate)</p>

<p>smile05- Geographic considerations are a tipping factor but I wouldn't rely on that at all since you are OOS.</p>

13

<p>Yeah...geography only matters in-state. Kids in southern VA have a bit of an advantage since so many NOVA kids apply to one or both and most applicants from the area are so competitive. </p>

<p>It's one of the things I don't like about NOVA -- everyone is really caught up in prestige.</p>
