<p>Your status as a URM will basically guarantee you automatic admission to these colleges</p>

<p>^ she’s a white female…that’s not URM. Being female doesnt really play a major factor in admissions anymore. Unless I’m missing something.</p>

4

<p>in fact I think the national post secondary ratio is around 57% female</p>

<p>regardless, i think you’re in good shape. study hard for the SAT and SAT IIs (I think GTown is basically the only school that requires 3 now…though that could have changed)</p>

5

<p>My problem with SAT IIs is I would have to take them in November (plan on retaking SAT I in Oct.)…will my EA applications that are due in Nov. be considered incomplete if I don’t submit the SAT IIs?</p>

<p>Also, please chance for UVA ;)</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>You’ll probably get into all of those. :)</p>
