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.

Hard work and not slacking are really important, not only if you want to get in to W&M, but if you want to succeed at W&M. Your grades will not be handed to you. Make sure you get good recommendation letters. The one most powerful item that helped me get in was a letter from my high school soccer coach, who had seen me interact with both upperclassmen and freshmen on the team.

Focused myself on admission from day 1 in 9th grade in terms of planning, course selection and scholastic effort.

I had good scores, good grades, and good recommendations. My credentials were thought to be ivy-type quality. I was out of state, so these are generally the normal qualifications of out of staters. Don't expect scholarship money from W&M.
