<p>Sounds like you have the makings of a competitive applicant. You look to be a strong student taking good courses and your SATs are in the middle 50% range (although they are towards the lower end of the middle 50% range for OOS students so retaking is a good idea just to see if you can improve your scores a bit).</p>
<p>Question: are you limited to five classes? You listed only five for each year. Just wondering if your senior schedule might allow for one additional AP Course (AP Government for example).</p>
<p>Have you considered making a dance submission? We allow students who are talented in the fine arts to submit their work to W&M faculty for review. The faculty assessment then becomes part of your file and can certainly help to illuminate a special talent.</p>
<p>If you can come to campus this summer, we encourage you to conduct an on-campus interview ([William</a> & Mary - Summer Interviews](<a href=“http://www.wm.edu/admission/interview]William”>http://www.wm.edu/admission/interview)) as a way to add a more personal dimension to your application. It’s an optional but something to take advantage of if you’re on campus.</p>
<p>We caution all students to remember that W&M is a highly-selective university admitting only 1/3 of those who apply and only about 27% of the OOS students who apply but our holistic process means every applicantion is reviewed at least twice and gets a thorough and individual review taking into account all objective and subjective factors you put forth.</p>
