if you (1) presented your ECs well, and (2) get your SAT score up to where you think it might go, you will have a fair shot. Not the best chance, but not automatically in the 'no' pile.

W&M considers a wide variety of factors: course rigor, grades, standardized test scores, extracurricular involvements, letters of recommendation, an essay, and other personal qualities. It sounds like you've been successful in the classroom in a rigorous program which is a good start. Your personal qualities (extracurriculars, essay, your background/life experience) are a very important part of the review process so sharing those factors which make you unique (such as your sexual orientation) help the Committee get a more three-dimensional picture of who you are and what you might contribute. Because there are no minimum criteria, you'll never know unless you try!
