University of Mary Washington Chances

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm really interested in UMW and my college counselor recommened it to me as a possibility, so he must think I have some chance of acceptance.</p>

<p>I go to New Trier, a very competetive public high school in Illinois. My GPA is a 3.9 on a 4.0 scale. This year, I'm taking AP psych, pre-calc, humanities, art history, and french 5. I'm also in all the top music ensembles at my school which include Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Jazz 1, and Symphony Orchestra. My ACT score was 23 and I plan to retake it in the fall. I'm not a fantastic test taker so my chances of scoring higher than that is minimal. I also coach Special Olympics and a little league team for kids with special needs. I plan on majoring in French and international affairs as well as playing in music ensembles.</p>

<p>That is all my information, so I hope someone who knows about UMW admissions can give me feed back. Thank you!</p>

<p>Bring up your SATs but Ill bet you'll be fine. Just so you know Mary Washington is goooorgeous and extremely down to earth genius type people, a lot of them are nonconformists but generally friendly and non-competitive, the alumni are ridiculously close and basically everyone I know there is happy. Good luck, maybe Ill see you there! they love to see interest, especially for an out of stater so get on their mailing list and visit, its a reallly nice place to go to college if you like a small town with very involved profs.</p>
