Get an eagle scout or gold palm award and be the president or captain of something. Everyone at this school had an amazing high school career academically, its the leadership skills in your extracurriculars that will get you in here.

Work hard. No, harder than that. Write good essays, get good standardized test scores (I know, they are arbitrary and ultimately meaningless, but they are still the rubric). Be active in HS. Successful applicants and students here are not just academic machines; they are locally and globally aware and involved. There is no one catch all application that is guaranteed to get you in. Just work hard and be passionate about what you do, that's the best advice I can give.

Know what you are getting yourself into. Talk to a friend from your highschool who goes here and get their inside opinion. COME VISIT! you will get a feel for the school and if you fall in love with it like I did just by setting foot on campus and walking the brick paths you will know. Spend the night with some student and get them to take you to their classes.

Business - Management and Administration
Worked my butt off in high school. Scheduled a visit and an interview after submitting my application. Got a ROTC scholarship before applying. 3 varsity letters, NHS, National Merit runner-up, and good board scores.
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.
Business - Management and Administration
For out-of-staters, it's much harder. The acceptance rate is in the low-teens. Basically, it's a crap shoot.
Chemistry
One of the biggest things WM looks at is extracurriculars. That you are a motivated person who has broad interests and is a go-getter.
Chemistry
I had an A average and 1480/1600 SAT score. I did not have that many activites and was out-of-state. Study hard and, if you don't get in, it's probably because you don't live in Virginia.
