Fear of the unknown can be difficult, BUT as swish14 said be confident! You are worrying too much! I was nervous like you before I went to WM, I’m not going to lie. I had heard how tough it was and all kinds of stuff. Everything worked out just fine. I was worried that my absolute best might not be all that good at WM, because my High School stats were below the median of who WM usually accepts. I ended up in the top 15% of my class at WM through hard work and determination and am now in law school. My stats alone insinuated that I might not be able to hang, but what I found out is that there is much more to it than your SAT and GPA. And think about it this way: your four years in college will affect you for the rest of your life. Would you rather be prepared at graduation, be able to have good graduate school and job possibilities with an average GPA, and forever be associated with a school like WM OR would you want to put yourself in a situation where you didn’t challenge yourself and wonder what could have been? There are “turningpoints” in life - some we can control and others we can’t. If you were to choose an average school, it likely won’t prevent you from doing well in life. But I will say that when I look back at decisions I have made thus far, my decision to go to WM in spite of the fear I felt was a major positive “turningpoint” for me.
