2

<p>Btw essays were pretty good on both colleges according to my councilor</p>

<p>Ok, post away</p>

3

<p>Harvard College will not be able to look past weak GPA + SAT scores... even the URM status will not help in that case. However, I think you've got a substantially better shot at UVA. Your ECs are excellent.</p>

4

<p>Thanks for the post, thats what i have been thinking so far. However, even the substantially better shot is almost no shot at all in my eyes.</p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

5

<p>state residency??</p>

6

<p>Virginia! woop woop!</p>

7

<p>then i think you are in uva but not at harvard.</p>

8

<p>agree w/mitan_da1</p>

9

<p>we shall see on march 30th 5:30 PM</p>

<p>personally i think ive been just getting lucky so far...</p>

<p>but i want some more opinions hook me up people</p>

10

<p>UVA yes, Harvard no. URMs don't get nearly that much of a break. I was no shoo in last year (though I was accepted) as a URM with a 2360 and high GPA.</p>

11

<p>wats no shoo? no offense, i just can't make sense of that typo or acronym whatever it is</p>

<p>but nice stats and thanks for the tip, i think i understand the majority of it</p>

12

<p>probably "no shot" ?</p>

13

<p>Shoo in = sure bet.</p>

14

<p>oh wow it's late haha i didnt connect the shoo and the in </p>

<p>anyways thank you for your insight suze, any other takers???</p>

15

<p>btw with those stats and being an URM, you were as much as a shoe in as anyone</p>

<p>but hey, all ivy admissions is a crapshoot though so great job and congrats on ur acceptance, hopefully ill get mine =)</p>

16

<p>How did you get accepted into Vanderbilt and William and Mary with that GPA? You have pretty stellar EC's.</p>

17

<p>our school has one of the most rigorous curriculums in the state... and colleges recognize that.</p>

<p>i am also taking 3 APs 1 Honors, which is the limit one can have per year during their senior year..</p>

<p>Also throw in an upward trend... and there you go, Vandy and W&M want me</p>

18

<p>Other opinions?</p>
