Competition is not AS bad as the Ivy League, but it's still tough. I wouldn't even apply if your SATs are below 1300.
SAT: 1490 Male
“Getting into William and Mary for me was veryJun 10 2005History/Histories (art history/etc.)
Getting into William and Mary for me was very difficult. I had a 1490 on my SAT's and a 34 on my ACT and that alone did not suffice for entry into a College where most applicants have just as good scores. The essays and supplement requirements are a very useful way to convince the admissions team of your individuality not just a super clever robot, so make good use of it if you don't necessarily have the grades to back yourself up. Needless to say W&M ranks one of the highest Unis in the nation and so they will be looking for those who go the extra mile in sports activites etc.
