[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OOS DD (MCPS, non-W school), full IB +4 APs, 3.98/4.86, 1430 SAT, 33 ACT, several solid arts/community ECs (deep and dedicated but no stellar achievements) and some school clubs, small leadership roles in a few.

College Vine has W&M as a [b]Target, [/b]with odds of 65%. Sound reasonable? Looking at museum studies/art history, with a chemistry minor. [/quote]

Sounds right to me. PP above. DD’s stats are lower and CollegeVine gives her a 56% chance - higher if ED, which we can’t afford to do. My research suggests your kid will get in - most likely if female and most certainly if male.[/quote]

Honestly, if not hooked you can't safely call W&M or UVA  "targets" any longer. I know Ivy kids who didn't get into either. Go to College Confidential and read the bios of the rejected and waitlisted students at W&M for a humbling experience. The SCHEV statistics for both are very high which is why Virginians, in particular, and OOS students who read SCHEV self-select out of even applying to the two schools. For example, last year's incoming class at W&M reported a 4.53 gpa, a 1510 SAT and a 34 ACT at the 75th percentile meaning 25% had higher stats. The median had a 4.36, a 1450 and a 33. This is why our public high school counselor told us there was no point in DC applying to W&M or UVA and to look to the other VA publics, which we did. An application to W&M would have been unrealistic, especially when compared to the high-fliers DD would have been compared to our nova public.  This is why you cannot compare selectivity numbers of public schools to private. They are entirely different applicant classes.[/quote]
