<p>Remember the Common Data set is just that. A common data set and that only utilizes grades reported on a 4.0 scale (plenty of schools use other scales – and their GPAs are not part of the Common Data set data). What W&M posts on its admission web site is true. There is no minimum GPA needed to be considered for admission. Every applicant, regardless of GPA or SAT is reviewed in full by at least two different members of the admission staff. Certainly data will indicate that there are certain qualities that make some students more competitive than others but there truly is no minimum GPA because W&M does consider a student’s high school context and the GPA scale and competitiveness of that high school before passing judgment on a GPA. W&M also considers a whole host of non-quantitative factors in its review.</p>
