[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is W&M a match or a reach for an OOS white boy with a 1560 SAT from a STEM magneT, all As so far. Unhooked. Won’t do ED. [/quote]

A match. They also have more F than M students so your white boy is in with a chance. [/quote]

To be a match, I think he needs to show he’s a good match. Based on what you’ve said, W&M isn’t an obvious choice and they do care about demonstrated interest. His stats are very strong. [/quote]

Thanks for responding. But why isn’t W&M an obvious choice? Bc we’re out of state? My kid liked it a lot when we visited…[/quote]

Very high stats science magnet kid from oos. A more typical profile would be a student interested in IR or Government with an SAT in the 1400s. I’d assume he has other top choices. But they’d love a high stats boy interested in science. Interview slots are open now - reserve one and show that interest. [/quote]

William and Mary is very strong in base sciences (Chemistry, Biology, Physics) and cross-disciplinary areas like Neuroscience.  The commitment to STEM teaching is strong and most STEM undergraduates do faculty-mentored research.  It is close to the top for public universities in percentage of undergraduates going on to get STEM PhDs.  The Medical school admit rate is something like 25 points above the national average.

We toured the integrated science center, which has been built over a nearly 20 year period.  The made a concerted effort to brings STEM areas together to foster interdisciplinary study, collaboration, and research.  It was very nice.[/quote]
