What are my chances?

<p>I am a Middle-Eastern girl
Senior (graduating in 2012).
Upstate New York - competitive public high school</p>

<p>I have taken all honors classes my whole high school career.

Honors English: A-
Honors Biology: A-</p>

<p>Sophomore:

<p>Junior:

I think I got a 5 on the US exam and a 4 on the Biology exam</p>

<p>SATs:

SATiis: US:780, Bio:?? Math II: ??</p>

<p>Our school is currently totally changing the way that they calculate GPA so I don't exactly know what it will be but my average is somewhere around a 92%</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Model UN: 4 years, Vice President 1 year, chaired one of the largest student run conferences for 3 years, 2 outer committee awards at major college conferences

Dance: 5 days a week, jazz, modern, ballet, soloist
SHS: member
Volunteer: 70+ local hospital, 170+ local summer camp for kids with cancer</p>

<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>
