Does William and Mary give you too much work?

I’m a sophomore studying neuroscience and chemistry and have a 3.85 at W&M. I keep a study log, and I put in about 35 hours of solid studying per week on top of research, TA, tutoring, and sport club. With all of this, I basically have no time left to relax, but college is what you make it. I can guarantee you that W&M will be harder than your high school unless you are majoring in something very easy. Because of this, you will definitely need to work hard to get a 3.5+ GPA, because your high school GPA is only a 3.53. Although, I got the top grade in my Organic chemistry classes and I was a pretty average applicant (1400 SAT, nothing too special), so you can definitely surprise people if you work hard.
