CHANCE ME for University of Virginia, University of North Carolina, and Wash U (Will Chance Back)

Thanks to anyone who responds! I am a rising senior and I am applying to these schools for business. UVA- arts and sciences school until the 3rd year.

Demographics info
-I go to a private school in Kentucky that the Washington Post has named a top 5 most challenging in the state. Around 40 kids per grade. Very competitive.

  • Half Asian/Half White

-Rank-the guidance counselor doesn’t report rank to colleges though knowing it hurts students at our school

-Will not apply for need based aid, only merit based

-No hooks

SAT: Will not be taking.

SAT II: 720 Math 1, 650 Lit. Not sure if I’m going to send these because I know they’re not great.

-I don’t really have too good of EC’s and the lack of leadership in academic EC’s probably hurts me.
-No really good honors/awards either.

  • I’m hoping my essays will be able to make up for them though.

I am visiting WashU so I will have put forth interest, and I will schedule an interview at a later time.

If I applied early decision at WashU, can I still apply at and do the scholarship stuff at the other schools as well? And then its only if I get accepted that I have to pull my applications at other schools?

I do have 2 safety schools that I should get at least half tuition at plus admittance to their honor colleges.

Thanks everyone for your help and I can answer any additional questions if I’m forgetting anything important.

Pretty decent chances at UVA and UNC. WUSTL is a stretch but doable.

Do you you think I would have a decent chance of getting in at WUSTL if I applied ED?

You’ll have like 10% better of a chance. But please make sure you actually want to go to Wash U. Your chances at Wash is only lowered because of your GPA. If I were you, I’d take ACT again to secure a 34 at least.

UVA: Match
UNC: Low Match
WashU: Low Reach (unless ED)
