My D is a rising senior and William & Mary has risen to the top of her list of prospective colleges following an April visit to the campus. She attends a rural/suburban public HS about 100 miles north of NYC. She has taken the most rigorous schedule of classes possible, all honors or AP. The school only offers one AP course, however. She plans to graduate next year with 5 units/years of math (algebra, geometry, trig, pre-calculus and calc), 6 units of lab science, 5 units of French, 4.5 units of history/social studies and 4 units of English.

Other stats:

SAT I: 1440 (CR 760, M 680)
She plans to take the SAT a second time on June 2 to try to get the math score up above 700.

SAT IIs: Chemistry 730, Biology 740, US History 770

Class Rank: Not sure, but in Top 5-10% of class of 165.

ECs: Good (4 years of Jazz Band, Marching Band, Concert Band; President of Environmental Action club, Secretary of Acting Troupe, French Club)

Community Service: Peer tutoring, community rescue squad, lector and cantor at church)

D hopes to major in biology or chemistry with career aspirations in medicine or biological research, but she loves history also.

I know that W&M’s selctivity is particularly tough for OOS females and would appreciate any informed opinions as to her chances of admission.
