<p>W&M- In! I feel like if you apply ED, you can get into W&M. SAT, GPA, and EC’s all look up to par. Make sure you have a lot of community service because W&M puts a lot of emphasis on that.</p>

<p>Well, I do community service for NHS, I finished the Silver Trefoil (100 hours community service) and I’m practically done with the Gold Award (65 hour community service/leadership project). Oh, and I volunteer every year as a 2-week summer camp counselor. Do you think that’s good enough?</p>

<p>Low weighted GPA for W&M. Bring it up to have a good shot. Toughest school in VA to get into. Good luck.</p>

5

<p>The grading scale in our county is:</p>

<p>94-100 - A
90-93 - B+
84-89 - B
80-83 - C+</p>

<p>and so on. Also, our honors classes aren’t weighted. Does anyone know if W&M takes this into consideration?</p>

<p>Also, can anyone chance me for Emory, Wellesley, and Macalester?</p>

<p>Bump. Anyone else?</p>
