<p>Only took ACT - 27, which was the worst thing about her app.</p>
<p>vamotherof4, what was her SAT Score? I’m so nervous… “hyperventilates”</p>
<p>Man, that’s so weird… kids with low GPAs but high SATs got rejected from UVA, but kids with high GPAs but low SATs got in…</p>
<p>I’m guessing WM is harder for white girls to get in since thats the majority of their study body.</p>
<p>ahh i’m nervous too! i know i won’t get in, but i’m still nervous! </p>
<p>i’m probably hyperventilating for nothing though, since i probably won’t get it today!</p>
<p>haha i feel the same way!</p>
<p>my mailman doesn’t come till around 4:30, so it really screws up my day!</p>
<p>I’m feeling nervous too!!! I really like this school, but I’m OOS and I only have a 30 ACT score… My GPA isn’t probably high enough either… I hope the rest of my application can pull through. Probably not.</p>
<p>GPAs are usually weighted heavier than SAT scores.
Simply b/c the GPA takes 4 years to achieve while the SAT takes only 4 hours. A person with a low GPA and a high SAT usually gives the impression that they didn’t take their education as seriously as they could have (whether that’s true or not is a different matter).</p>
<p>I’m East Asian, an OOS, and I only have a 28 ACT with B average grades. I did do great with the teacher recommendations and the essay. However, I’m expecting a rejection letter. I’m just glad W&M took the time to look over my application.</p>
<p>I am beginning to think there is no rhyme or reason to a lot of this admissions stuff…
my son was accepted to West Point, Early Action and Notre Dame…but rejected at Georgetown and waitlisted at UVA…waiting for W & M letter…but do not have a good feeling. Good luck to all of you.</p>
<p>I was kind of excited when I saw that I had a thick envelope…but alas, waitlisted. That makes five waitlists for me: Georgetown, Emory, Wellesley, WashU, and now W&M. Wowww, my life is over.</p>
<p>I hope I’m even CONSIDERED for a waitlist…</p>
<p>laframboisevert - are you in-state?</p>
<p>OOS… </p>
<p>10char</p>
<p>Ah, I’m sure you’ll get in! It is harder for OOS but I’m sure you can do it!! :)</p>
<p>Does not doing the optional essay hurt you? Essay writing is not my strength so I didn’t do it…</p>
<p>i didn’t get anything today from W&M and i’m in NC</p>
<p>I’m from NC too, and there is still nothing. </p>
<p>I am really hoping this is the answer I’ve been looking for. I have been waitlisted at Northwestern and Vanderbilt already, and I don’t need a third waitlist to add to the ranks.</p>
<p>I’m in Texas, so maybe I don’t hear from them today. Hahahaha great, one more extra day to add to the stress!</p>
<p>i live right next to Wm and just go the letter.
i got waitlisted 
prolly my low sat 1820 :((</p>
