[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W&M is very difficult to get in from Nova. You need to be aiming for 75th percentile which is about a 4.47 and 34 ACt. It’s a phenomenal deal if you are applying from VA and can get in[/quote]

Thanks for this. Do you know - Is the 4.47 you mentioned the GPA after a student's junior year, the GPA after the first half of senior year, or the final GPA for all of high school? Thx[/quote]

Yes, it's the final cumulative GPA at end of senior year.  SCHEV (the (Virginia) State Council on High Education) reports the weighted GPAs of enrolled students each fall at every public and private institution in VA (note that's the scores of the students who actually showed up and [b]enrolled [/b] - some of the higher stats kids peel off for Ivies or UVA or SLACs).  So you can assume that the stats for application acceptance is higher.  So if you are applying from NOVA you should be aiming for that 75th percentile since competition is so fierce.

The SCHEV site seems to be down this evening.  You can find the information at SCHEV.org, research, admissions - then enter the name of the school.  I can, however, give you UVA's from memory.  UVA is only very slightly higher in GPA and/or stats than W&M, so they are almost identical.  So, for UVA, for last fall, the 75th percentile had a 4.49 weighted GPA, a median GPA of 4.35 and a 25th percentile GPA of 4.21.  The 75/50/25th percentile scores for the ACT were 34/33/30.  The 75/50/25 scores for SATs were  1500/1430/1340. Of course, your school's naviance or other personalized tracking service is what you should look at first since not all schools have such high GPAs.  You should be in the top ten percent of the class.[/quote]
