You mean 4.29 weighted...

But, even then, it's a reach...

Are you taking your SATs again? If you do better like a 2100+, I think you would have a decent shot at it. Good luck!

Honestly, I don't think your chances are bad. I'm a W&M alum, and I think that if you really do well on your interview and essays, you are in the ballpark. It is much harder to get in out of state, so raising your scores would help. However, applying early is your best shot. Once they fill the out of state slots, it's all over.

Hey, I'm a current OOS girl at WM. You have great stats, but I would recommend re-taking the SAT (WM super scores!). I was admitted off the waitlist. If you are financially able to apple ED and you know WM is the school for you, I would suggest it.

Best of Luck!

Thanks so much! Unfortunately I'm not going to apply ED because of the whole financial thing, even though I do know that WM is the school for me!! I'm anxiously awaiting my most recent SAT scores, too!!
