Hey all! Didn’t see any thread for specifically William & Mary transfer hopefuls, so I thought I’d get the ball rolling.
I’m looking to transfer from Sarah Lawrence College. I’m also applying to Brown and Wesleyan.
Here are some of my stats:

College GPA: 3.9 (projected, calculated by myself through a form given by the college. Grades aren’t a big thing here. It’s all about the written evaluations teachers give at the end of the semester)
HS GPA: 3.98

Chose to not submit standardized test scores.
AP: Comp Sci 5; English Lit 5; Euro History 4; Calc BC 5; Gov 4

High School ECs:
Editor of Literary Magazine
Organizer in French Club
Black Belt in Karate (also teaching classes)
Archery
Guitar Lessons
Soroptomist Award

College ECs:
Martial Arts Club (Self-Defense Leader)
Christian Union
Screenwriter’s Workshop
Yoga classes
Rock Climbing Club

Recommendations:
Writing Prof / Adviser
Latin Prof

Reasons for Transferring:
The school I’m at currently doesn’t have majors and only 3 classes a semester, so my studies are in Writing, Latin, and Anglo-Saxon Lit currently (and a film class last semester). Would love to explore archaeology and medieval studies which SLC doesn’t have much of. Socially, SLC has a small campus and student body. Not quite enough diversity for my taste.

Best of luck to all applying!
