How do kids show demonstrated interest during COVID? My DD interviewed and meet with the admissions counselor when they came to here HS. She also “toured” twice in 2021, but they weren’t doing real tours - basically we had to go the the admissions office, pick up a packet and tour on our own. She she emailed the admissions officer about this and let them know she did that?

Yes. Your kid has demonstrated interest. Have her open any emails they send.

Thanks.

I don't know, but good luck! My son is a freshman this year and he loves the school! I don't think how good they really are is accurately conveyed through admissions and usnews rankings. It's been so beyond expectations this year. There is a coziness and kindness to the school with really smart and focused students. The students even share opportunities with each other. Its a very collaborative place.

Last year, W&M’s in state acceptance rate was 44% and out of state was 31%. Since you are in the W cluster, other kids definitely applied in the past, so check Naviance for the average. I don’t know what school the in state PPs are from but at my school, no one was rejected above the average lines (4.24 GPA/1360 SAT) and only 6 were waitlisted. Acceptance rate at the school was 38%.

Also it looks like, at my school, kids with GPAs above 4.24 and SAT below 1360 were MUCH more likely to be admitted than those with GPAs below 4.24 and SATs above 1360.

At the undergraduate level Chemistry is top notch and Physics as well.

Hi, NP here. Is 4.24 weighted or unweighted? Can a kid get in with 2 B pluses at your school? And assuming you are Md public? Thanks for help.

I think so. I think what they want to see is overall good grades in challenging classes. In addition, they want to see a breath of education and depth in one area that they've taken beyond the classroom.

Sorry I should have clarified I am in VA. Weighted with a .5 bump for honors and 1 bump for regular. My daughter actually has a 4.28 and it includes two Bs from MS. The rest are As (3 A-).

No need to apologize - I am grateful for the help. Does she not take many weighted classes? Thank you! What is 1 bump for regular? Do you mean AP? Though now that I know you are in Virginia, probably not as applicable to my OOS kid. . I am a W&M alum and really glad I got in a long time ago.

SCHEV only has class of 2025 as the latest data point. The other poster linked W&M class of 2026 data.

This could be 2021 vs 2022. Lower rates in 2022.

SCHEV does have 2022 SAT and GPA stats. It does not yet have 2022 accepted percentages.
