From these facts, can I get into the college of William and Mary?

I live in Virginia, Main SAT score is 1280, took 3 SAT II Subject Tests (Math 1: 690, Math 2: 690 US History: 660), my gpa is pretty low because i slacked off my freshmen year, only a 3.5. However, ive taken all honors and AP classes throughout highschool with an increasing gpa each year (9th: 3.1 10th: 3.6 11th: 4.1). AP chem and calc senior year. I’m hoping to compensate for my low gpa with a bunch of extracurriculars. Ive been playing 2 sports, lacrosse and track, both for 3 years now and made varsity lacrosse in 10th and lettered in track in 11th. Im also on my schools competitive science team that won states last year. I went to Harvard Summer School for the past two summers to take some intense classes (first summer I took a math course, second summer i took computer programming course). I have about 80 volunteer hours at my local YMCA and just came back from a week long mission trip fixing houses in WV. Ive been in various clubs, as well as helped to establish/run one. Going ED.

Those grades should be good enough to get pass the automatic DQ’s in admissions. You are on the bubble and it will depend on your reference letters. You are lacking leadership extracurriculars. The 80 hours of volunteer work is not impressive unless you specify what you are doing. If you presented the information in a more impressive manner, your application would not be noticed.

You should give the impression that you are going to their school and ask what information do they need to facilitate the maticulation process.

The College of William and Mary’s Freshmen Academic Profile:

SAT – Crtitical Reading Middle 50%: 620-730

SAT – Math Middle 50%: 620-710

TPR Projected Range SAT Writing: 670-740

ACT Composite Middle 50%: 28-32

Average High School GPA: 4.00

Students in top 10% of HS class: 80%

Students in top 50% of HS class: 98%

Your low GPA may be killing you here. Look at the *average* high school GPA of the most recent freshman class.

However, all is not lost. Your extracurricular activities sound good, and it really comes down to your overall record, not just your academic record. Make sure you application essay is stellar, and make sure you apply to several fall-back schools which would be good choices for you if this one rejects or wait-lists you.
