<p>Although your grades are OK, your SATs just don’t cut it. Realistically, you have little chance of getting into W&M.</p>

<p>Your grades and EC’s look fairly solid. Any way you can take some SAT prep courses or just use self-discipline and old tests to prepare? Your courses and SATll scores seem to inidicate that there is definite chance for improvement. Give it a shot.</p>

<h1>2, I think the GPA more than the SAT is the problem.</h1>

<p>It’s definitely possible. Im a black, Virginia resident who got in ED with a GPA similar to yours. I think what did it for me was my SAT scores (above W&M’s 75th percentile), so I’d recommend you raise those scores as high as you possibly can. Don’t let your GPA discourage you though, it can be done.</p>
