Hi there! This past summer I visited William and Mary and ever since it has become my goal to go there. I am a current Junior in a public, magnet high school. I go to a performing arts high school where I major in Musical Theatre. My school requires a lot of commitment and I have just as many art classes as I do academic classes in a day. I am a bit worried that because I am not taking as many classes, this might hurt my chances, but could being so committed to an interest of mine make up for some of that. Also, I’m a white, female.

Class Rank: 6 out of 55

GPA: 4.00 UW

SAT: 1450. I took this in June of my sophomore year, and am planning on taking it multiple more times. That was the first time I have taken it, and I’m planning to score at least a 1900 by the end of this year.

CLASSES: Freshman year: all honors. Sophomore year: all honors. Junior year: AP Language and AP Biology, all other honors. Senior year: I’m planning on taking AP Calc, AP Literature, and physics. In addition to these academic classes, my arts classes include dance, musical theatre technique, acting, concert choir, musical theatre ensemble and technical theatre.

I am a little bit worried about the required amount of credits for foreign language because I only have 3 for Spanish and my school doesn’t offer any higher level class right now.

EXTRA CURRICULAR:
Girl Scouts (Kindergarden-Sophomore year)
Community Theatre Group (Freshman year)
Maryland All-State Choir (Freshman year)
Member of SGA and Key Club (Freshman year)
