<p>I live in North Carolina, I'm a White female with a single parent (idk if that matters)
I'm a Junior and I've taken mostly Honors and AP classes and I plan to take more, I've gotten A's and B's in all my classes</p>

<p>I should get really good rec's too, but doesnt everybody?</p>

<p>Thanks:)</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at a few including Davidson. Goodluck!</p>

<p>Also, I’ve thought about EDing to Vanderbilt because there aid program is so good, that I’m not really worried about it. Should I?</p>

4

<p>How about SAT/ACT?</p>

5

<p>taking it in December for the first time I’m in a prep class now that averages over 2000 for participants so hopefully that will go well</p>

<p>If you were to be able to get a score in the 2200+ SAT range I’d say you’d have a shot. Though, these schools are selective even amongst students scoring 2200+. And GPA might scare them.</p>

<p>If I were you I’d definitely apply but I wouldn’t get any hopes up. </p>

<p>I’d say they’re a reach but not far enough to be a leap!
Good LUCK!</p>
