<p>Hey, a friend of mine fell in love with W&M over the winter break, and is trying to get his grades up for W&M. The problem is, he went to an art institute right after high school, and got a degree from there. If his grades weren't stellar, does he still have to submit the transcript? He said he didn't care about his grades because his portfolio is what really mattered, and he got a job at Blizzard right after graduating. He got sick of the industry, and now he's at a CC as a history major. Mind chancing him?</p>

Male

Major: History
Current GPA: 3.2, but might get higher
SAT: 1350
EC: Paints, plays a few instruments, and designs. </p>
<p>I know W&M takes about 50% of transfer applicants, but how competitive are the applicants? Also, he might apply in the fall.</p>
