Hi @Chlochlo08! My son’s stats are similar to yours (same GPA, 29 ACT, his school does weight but your rigor of schedule sounds about the same as his). We are considering W&M a reach for him. He loves it and we have hope, but we have to go down a step for more matchy schools, and many in @TTG s list above are on our list for schools that are more of a match. If you are trying to be in the same state as your grandparents, James Madison U and George Mason U would be more of a match, but both are large 1900 but well regarded. Also Christopher Newport U would be more matchy and has enrollment of 5000.

OH most importantly, we have an email from W&M that they strongly recommend interviews, on campus, over the summer…if you’re not on their mailing list, get on it!
