<p>demographics:
*I am an Asian Indian Male (most likely won’t help)
*From a competitive public high school in Oregon: Beaverton High School, which was also rated the best AP school in Oregon, so yeah, its a smart school. (being from oregon isn’t going to help either)
*student body at school = 500+</p>

<p>IN SUMMARY: I should finish high school with around 3.75 or 3.8 UW GPA, but I’ll do what ever I can to prevent that from happening. If I go down in flames, then I’ll end up with a 3.7.</p>

<p>*class rank UW right now = 38/515. Weighted = 30/515 (will go up because not many kids have taken hard classes yet)
*IB Diploma Candidate (to be)

*Science Club VP (2 years)
*Math Club (4 years) (VP 2 years)
*Speech and Debate Team (2 years)
*Portland Youth Philharmonic (will have 2-3 years)
*Mathfest Algebra 2 1st place freshman year
*Oregon Invitational of Mathematics Tournament Participant Fresh Year
*Mathfest Participant (will have 4 years)
*Oregon Museum of Science and Industry Rising Star Program (will have 150-175 volunteer hours done)
*Mathcounts Tutor (about 50+ volunteer hours)
*Right now I get about a 1920-2050 on the SAT, 28-30 on ACT according to Practice Tests for SAT, and the PLAN (it’s like the PSAT for SAT except the ACT version) on ACT, but I’m shooting for at least a 2100 on the SAT and 32 on the ACT. Don’t count on me getting a 2100 or a 32 because its not going to happen as far as I can tell right now</p>

<li><p>What are my chances (use stats below)
I’d say good shot… I doubt WM has that many applicants from Oregon also.</p></li>
<li><p>Are sports popular/good over here?
W&M is not home to a 50,000 person football stadium with a semi professional team where the players don’t go to class. Probably about 1/3 of the student body comes out for football games. Players from the football team have aspirations of grad school, not the NFL. They take the same classes as everyone else. Nice, small stadium. We are very competitive in the league we play in. Our basketball team is terrible… hopefully it’s on the up-swing.</p></li>
<li><p>Is CWM good for pre-meds?
yes</p></li>
<li><p>How big are the classes in premed courses (ie o-chem, physics, etc all)
not sure, I’d guess around 100? If it’s that important I can find out for you. One of my roomies is premed.</p></li>
<li><p>How is the social life? Are there big cities nearby?
Social life is what you make of it. Williamsburg is not really a college town. If you want to go to bars and clubs, don’t come here. There’s Richmond within an hour, and VA Beach an hour the other way. DC is 2.5-3 hours.</p></li>
<li><p>Why isnt CWM on the top colleges list when its consistantly top 30 or very close to top 30
b/c CC didn’t put us there?</p></li>
<li><p>Shallow, but are the girls hot
general consensus = no. But I can’t stand stupid people no matter how hot they are, so I don’t care. They’re fine.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>(and just for the record… WM or W&M or W+M… no one calls us CWM. “the College” is also used a lot, as in, “how are sports at the College?”, don’t say “the College” and expect someone to know what you are talking about though if WM wasn’t already the subject of conversation)</p>
