can i get into UVA, william and mary, wake forest, duke, or emory?

<p>I'm a senior and here are my stats: </p>

<p>Gpa: 3.7
sat:1320
act:31
AP’s:4 (got 5’s on all of them)</p>

<p>Extra:
-president of student council
-president of happy club (operation smile)
-president of spanish club
-president of financial club
-varsity tennis for three years
-100+ hours of community service
-Job over summer as tennis pro
-internship at mlb front office over a summer.
-know html and have made multiple websites</p>

<p>gpa is unweighted by the way.</p>

<p>I don’t see you getting into any of them except possibly Wake</p>

<p>I can see you getting into Emory and because of your sports possibly Duke–but you probably should retake the ACT.</p>

<p>Good Luck! I’m sure you’ll find the right school.</p>

<p>Do you know what your class rank is? What type of high school do you go to? Public or private? How big is it?</p>

<p>I think you have much better chances than has been made out</p>

<p>Is your 1320 SAT only consisted of CR and M? It’ll be more consistent with your ACT and GPA that way.</p>

<p>Best chance at UVirginia and Wake Forest. The rest are reaches.</p>

<p>Are you a Virginia resident? If so, I think your chances at W & M/UVA are at least decent. If you do live in VA, where? I’ve heard from W & M students (though I don’t know how accurate this is) that it’s easier for VA students from outside of the NOVA area to be admitted because the applicant pool from NOVA is so strong and the school wants to accept students from all regions in VA. If you’re from VA, your counseling department should have a pretty accurate idea of your chances based on how past students have fared at the state universities.</p>

<p>W & M’s common data set for last year shows their 25/75 SAT (CR/Math) percentiles were 1260/1440; for the ACT, 28/32. At Emory, it was SAT 1300/1480; ACT, 29/33. Duke’s figures for 2008 (the last year I could quickly find) were 1340/1530 ; ACT, 30-34. A more difficult admit, since they’ve almost certainly gone up since then.</p>

<p>If you are OOS, almost zero chance at UVa, which rejects plenty of 1400/32’s every year. Best chance at Wake, then Emory and perhaps W&M.</p>

<p>W&M has lower admit rate and higher test scores than UVirginia</p>

<p>^^according to IPEDS, the numbers are nearly the same. UVa has a slightly lower admit rate (32% vs. 34%). W&M has SAT-VR scores (~10 points), but lower Math scores (~10 points).</p>

<p>hey ya I’m a Virginia resident and I go to a private school which generally admits about 25 of the 120 students each year to UVA.</p>

<p>You really seem to be focusing on all schools that are tough to be admitted to. Even as an instate student,UVa and William and Mary are not a given with a 1320 SAT. It would be a good idea to put some less selective schools on your list just in case.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The 2010 admit rates for men & women at W&M were quite different.
Men 39.4%
Women 27.2%</p>

<p>W&M is more likely than UVA if you are male.</p>

<p>Are you serious? Emory is NOT that hard to get in. You have a great chance.</p>
