<p>I agree with the previous poster regarding the too-small difference in your GPA’s and AP courses. Regarding AP/IB courses, there’s a sentence that comes up a lot in admissions - “has this student taken the most challenging coursework available?” If the answer isn’t “yes”, it’s going to be very hard to get into any top-tier school. </p>

<p>This is from an article published awhile back in the W&M Alumni magazine, and is a useful guideline:</p>

<p>

In admission baseball, there are five bases: biology, chemistry, physics, calculus and four to five years of a foreign language. This is just one measure of whether a student has completed a competitive courseload in high school. They also talk in strange numbers, often saying something like “4-plus-2,” which apparently is not “6” I later learn this to be the combined number of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses taken in the student’s senior (4) and junior (2) years, respectively. These things are quantifiable, and most discussion of this question is brief.

<p>Some more stats - the median SAT scores are 690V 671M 671W and 77% of the enrolled class had a 3.75 or better GPA last year (uw.) </p>

<p>Being in-state definitely boosts your chances, but right now, it looks like a “reach”.</p>
