I'm considering applying to William and Mary but trying to gauge my chances of getting in. Does anyone know their acceptance rate or how competitive the admissions process is there?
Lately, the acceptance rate at the College of William and Mary has been around 33%. This makes it a moderately selective institution, but it's important to consider that this rate can change year-to-year, and overall many colleges have been getting more selective in recent years.
To evaluate your personal chances of admission, it's helpful to review their admissions requirements and the academic profile of accepted students. William and Mary typically looks for applicants with strong academics, solid extracurricular activities, and well-crafted essays (you can read about how to tackle their school-specific supplements on CollegeVine's blog: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-college-of-william-and-mary-essays). The more your profile aligns with the typical successful applicant, the better your chances of being admitted.
Good luck with your college search!
