<p>Hello! :)
Well I'm a junior in an Ib school. I'm not getting an Ib diploma but I am taking Ib classes.
William and Mary is my DREAM college. I might not have a great GPA but I'm working on getting it higher.</p>
<p>weighted GPA - 3.3
Unweighted- idk</p>
<p>EC:
Best buddies for 3 years: next year will do it again
Volleyball - 2 years (high school) 3 years (syc)
Soccer - 4 years (lmvsc)
Theatre- 4 years
(Musical for 2 years, Play for 1 year,One Acts 2 years)
ITS for a year
NTHS - (2 years)
Dance (since 3rd grade)
Tutor kids
Have a job </p>
<p>Volunteer:
Animal Shelters -every weekend
Key club
Culinary arts - it had a lot of volunteer work
Going to hospitals
School volunteer work (help out teachers)</p>
<p>Classes:
Right now I'm taking 4 Ib classes
(HOA, Ib math sl, Ib English sl, Ib physics) my other classes are culinary arts, free block and psychology.
Next year I'm taking 5 Ib classes not sure yet if I'm going to add another
(Ib psychology, Ib Spanish 1, Ib English sl 2,Topics HL, Ib math sl 2) should I do an easy science class (human anatomy) or IB biology HL.</p>
<p>SAT - haven't taken them but I'm trying to get in the 2000 - 2400 range.</p>
<p>Other information:
I'm Hispanic and I will be the first in my family to go to college. </p>
<p>I will apply early decision and do the optional things for my application.</p>
<p>I just posted this in another thread - What are my chances at W&M:</p>
<p>My S will be graduating this May from W&M major in English and minor in Music. He was accepted Early Decision back in 2009 (December 1 2008 to be exact). His SAT was 2000+ so I agree with the rest of the comment that you should work for a high SAT. GPA was 3.7 unweighted, 3rd in a small graduation class of 35. No sports at all (and I agree that sports will not factor much) but lots of service/volunteer work (Service Awardee for the graduating class) and Performing Arts / Glee Club. He took some of the hardest courses in HS, received his IB Diploma in May 2009 (thus, not sure if it really counts - but having IB or AP in your resume will surely help). We live out of state - actually - out of continental US (Guam), Asian and has lived in 3 different locations. I believe one reason for my S acceptance was diversity.</p>
<p>Hope this helps - and good luck. And if W&M is really your first choice, apply ED. My S selected W&M for ED from a toss coin between W&M and NYU - and he did not regret it all.</p>
<p>Are you in state? If not then it is even harder out of state. It’s going to be a very high reach especially since I believe that William & Mary cares more about grades than SAT scores. The best you can do is try and raise your grades. Having an upward trend would be very good and try to get higher SAT scores than their averages. Good Luck!</p>
