<p>I’m also applying regular so I can’t really help you.</p>

<p>Really strong grades (nice job!)</p>

<p>Your SAT is 20 pts higher than mine.
I got same SAT II US HIST score, did you take another one b/c I think they recommend two.
AP scores lower than mine (but I know APAH is super hard)</p>

<p>strong in school EC’s
I know they like interviews so if you did that then it’s a plus
it doesn’t seem like you did anything super spectacular outside of school</p>

<p>So, UnivPro (or someone like that) said I was borderline on getting in, so I guess that puts you a peg above me but I don’t wouldn’t say anything is for sure
I know I can’t be too helpful, just my .02</p>

<p>Thanks coppjr for your input. I’m so unsure about W&L because its so small, thus they have less spots to fill, and at a small school like W&L they accept a much higher percentage of applicants ED. (Do they have EDII) I hope I can get in, but I did apply to Vanderbilt EDII which is a MAJOR reach and I probably won’t get anyway. W&L is my second choice) I did get a 610 on literature but my guidance counselor advised me not to send it. I haven’t signed up for an interview. I live in NJ so I’m not sure if I can go to the campus again. Do you know if they have alumni or skype interviews. I had a skype interview for Wake Forest it was kind of weird but would be helpful for admissions.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about skype, but I’m 98% sure they do have an alumni interview option.</p>
