is it difficult to be accepted into the college of william and mary? what are some requirements?

Answer 1

William and MAry is a prestigious college, but it is not quite as difficult to get into as some of the other elite schools. You should look at the website for W &M. They explain what the average GPA and SAT are for their typical Freshman class. Also, you can go to the Princeton Review web site and compare W&M to other similar schools.

Answer 2

It is becoming more and more difficult - here are the statistics for the Class of '09 - including number of applications and acceptances.

Bear in mind that as a public school, it is easier to be accepted if you're an in-state student.

Answer 3

I looked at this school when I was applying to colleges. They HEAVILY favor Virginia residents over all other applicants. The campus tour started with a speech from someone in admissions which pretty much came down to: "if you aren't from Virginia, you would have better chances at other schools."

I eventually chose Washington & Lee University in Lexington, VA. Gorgeous campus, well established school, tons of tradition. Check it out if you like Virginia schools.
