Like a previous poster, I was in a similar position to you a million years ago. I was the smart kid in my NoVa HS, I had a near perfect SAT score and a perfect GPA. Lots of good extra curriculars and honors. I applied to W&M because it was in state. I also applied to Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, Amherst and Williams. I got into five out of six of those as well. And I picked W&M. At the time the choice was based on the money - I had won some scholarships that would only come with going to a school in the state of Va, and on top of the in state tuition, I couldn’t justify the cost differential. I sort of thought it would be easy ish. It wasn’t. I started in a 300 level French class and got a C+. I was shocked. My first year bio and chem classes required real work. But perhaps the biggest shocker of all, I wasn’t the smartest, or even close to the smartest, in the room. Yes, I was a Monroe scholar and lived in the Monroe scholar dorm, so most of my immediate peers were also honors students, but it was a huge shock to my system to have to rejigger the way I had always identified myself by being the smartest or most academically capable around.
All of this was, of course, a very long time ago and much of it isn’t relevant. I tell you all this for two reasons: (1) don’t be surprised if W&M attracts a lot of very smart students and applicants, you will not be alone with kids who like thinking and working and doing hard academic things and (2) try to cut yourself some slack if it doesn’t always go as smoothly as you hope it will. Schools with admit rates that are higher can still be very challenging and you should be ready for that.
