The all-important top 10%

<p>William and Mary evaluates GPA similar to the way it is evaluated at UVA. From the William and Mary Website:</p>

<p>“There is no average GPA for incoming W&M students. Academic potential is evaluated from a combination of GPA, choice of curriculum, and curriculum rigor. We evaluate an applicant’s academic achievement within the context of his/her high school. Grades are weighted differently within each school system. Therefore, we do not recalculate GPAs to a 4.0 scale. Likewise, rigor of curriculum is based on what is offered at that particular high school.”</p>
