[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A relative of mine in NoVa had a 3.96, 2200 SAT/33 ACT  and was wait listed at W and M. Was accepted at UVa and went there, but I actually think would have been a better fit at W and M. It's very, very competitive for the the top Virginia schools.[/quote]

This doesn't sound right...I know MANY NOVa students with lesser stats who were accepted to W&M (caution...when I say "lesser" stats...not meaning low grades/scores but certainly less that those quoted by PP)  Most be more to this story[/quote]

One thing W & M admissions seem to look very closely at is rigor of course load, so perhaps student didn't challenge self enough with classes.  There's no grade inflation at W&M, so they're not afraid to accept kids with a lower GPA perhaps, but harder classes, since these kids are often in it for the knowledge, not the grade.  [/quote]

Well, we were surprised. And yes, she had a rigorous course load: lots of AP classes including physics and Calc AB (4s and 5s on the exams), four years of foreign language, and participation in high level athletics. Our family thinks that it is just a tougher admit for girls.

Definitely harder for girls. [/quote]
