[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely Skidmore has a ratio issue.  Frankly, William and Mary [b]has such a bad ratio issue might be worth trying[/b] [/quote]

Not a chance.  That's more than 2 SD below the 25% mark.[/quote]

+1. This is crazy. My DS has a 4.0W/34 ACT/10APs, with all the interviews and demonstrated interest and aboxes checked.  His guidance counselor has recommended ED, where WM gives a boost, gives him a 50/50 shot. [/quote]

Looking at the common data set from 2019-20 (pre-test optional for pandemic data), there are 1.38% of admitted students with a GPA of 3.5 or lower.  And there are .16% students  whose total SATs are below 1000.  Pretty sure those two groups don't overlap and they are likely with some serious hooks for the school.

More importantly for OP, it would be really hard  to thrive in a place where everyone has such higher achievement than you.  And W&M isn't a school where you get in and coast--these very good students continue to work very hard for their grades.

W&M has 42% male to 58% female--there's a ratio issue, but it's not that out of the norm for SLACS.  And  men have an easier time getting in due to fewer applicants, the admitted men don't have significantly lower stats than admitted women.[/quote]
