My advice would be that stats don’t tell the whole story. My child was accepted OOS ED and doesn’t fit the typical stat-driven profile that I’ve seen posted here and in other forums. My child is a strong student, but not top in their class and their school has limited AP offerings so she hasn’t taken any. My child had very high demonstrated interest, and based on W&M’s admissions podcast episodes, that seems to matter more than their CDS indicates. My child also had extracurriculars with a deep and sustained commitment that really tied into their academic interests and demonstrated who they are as a person, and what they could bring to a college community. Stats are great as a baseline measure, but W&M seems to truly care about the whole student. Make sure you listen to their admissions podcast for additional insights directly from the admissions office!
