William and Mary ED chance of acceptance?

William and Mary is my top choice, as I visited the campus and loved the physical and academic environment immediately. I intend to apply ED this fall, and was curious about my chances, especially since I am from out of state. Any input is appreciated :slight_smile:

I am a caucasian female, and I am not a legacy. I go to a top-ranked rigorous and competitive high school in Illinois. I am considering majoring in psychology or history.

Although out of state admissions is always difficult, I think you have some unique and intriguing extracurriculars along with solid academics that make you a compelling candidate. I love the stuff about the soap business, the robots, and the art – it really shows your talents in three very different fields. I think you are the type of person that has the potential to write a really unique and compelling essay – William & Mary loves the things that make each student “colorful.”
