<p>A couple of additional questions: will you need financial aid, and might you be able to apply Early Decision? If finaid is necessary, there are no guarantees for OOS students that W & M will meet their demonstrated need (the school does meet 100 percent of need for Virginians, though).</p>
<p>If your parents can cover the full cost of attendance, I think you’ll have a bit of a leg up. The College needs students like these in order to be able to fund those students who have financial need. And if you don’t need to compare financial aid offers from various schools before making a decision, you might want to apply ED, provided that W & M is your first choice. As at almost every school, the acceptance rate is higher for ED applicants.</p>
<p>I agree with Rixs that your ECs are outstanding! These, your unusual language skills, and being a first generation college student will make you a very appealing applicant. Have you thought about trying the ACT? Some students really do much better on it than the SATs.</p>
