<p>if you don't like W&M, I wouldn't come here. It's quite difficult to get good grades at W&M without hating the school. I suggest you choose JMU or Tech, which ever school you like better. It will be much easier to get the GPA that UVA wants at either of those schools, if you are UVA quality, which I would say you are, since you got into W&M. You will be able to do very well at Tech or JMU, while obtaining the average freshman GPA at W&M is not going to get you into UVA as a transfer.</p>
