<p>Duke - Reach
UVA - Safety
Vandy - Match
Maryland - Safety
GWU - Match
NCSU - Safety</p>

<p>Duke/Vanderbilt: Reach
If your school ranks then being out of the top 10% will hurt.
Also why is “college style gpa(out of 4.0)” different from the “unweighted” gpa? Unweighted GPA is also out of 4.0 </p>

4

<p>The college style has a 90-93 as an A-, 85-90 as a B+, ect. My high school uses a 7 point scale, so an 85-92 is a B, and there are no minuses or pluses. Probably should have explained that.</p>

5

<p>Duke ED is your best bet considering that they need to fill a certain number of NC kids so its easier to get in from there. Also you have the hook at duke from your aunt. </p>

6

<p>Duke - Low Reach(ED+Your aunt)
UVA - Safety
Vanderbilt - Match/high Match
UMaryland - Safety
GWU - Match
NCSU - Safety
Getting into that top 10% will be really beneficial Good luck!</p>

7

<p>Duke - Reach
UVA- Match
Vanderbilt- Match
University of Maryland- Safety
George Washington University- Low Match
NC State- Safety</p>

8

<p>UVa is not a safety. </p>

9

<p>Duke - Reach
UVA- low reach
Vanderbilt- low reach
University of Maryland- Safety
George Washington University- Match
NC State- Safety</p>

10

<p>match* my bad I didn’t mean to put safety</p>

11

<p>UVA is not a match. It is extremely hard to get into if you are out of state.</p>

12

<p>Duke - Low Reach
UVA - Safety
Vanderbilt - Match/high Match
UMaryland - Safety
GWU - Match
NCSU - Safety</p>

13

<p>UVA is definitely a safety for this applicant. He’s already above the 50-50 ACT and OOS applicants still have a 1 in 3 chance of getting accepted. No way he doesn’t get accepted. @ooohcollege @sevmom</p>

14

<p>And his GPA for his schedule strength is superb.</p>

15

<p>Sorry, BamaBaller. UVa is not a safety for this OP. </p>

16

<p>Duke- high match ( aunt)
UVA-low match
Vanderbilt - match(they love the high ACT scores)
Umaryland - major safety
GWU- low match
NC - safety- not familiar with scholarship sorry
Good luck!</p>

17

<p>Your grades are fine if you’re in the top 10%.
ACT looks good.
Your activities are really weak, I’m surprised no one has said that.
Duke, UVA, Vandy are all low-mid reaches. the rest you should get into</p>

18

<p>-Duke: low reach<br>
-UVA: low match
-Vanderbilt: match
-University of Maryland: high match
-George Washington University: High match
-NC State: High macth</p>

19

<p>UVA can never be a safety. The best case scenerio is being a match to a person with very high test scores and is an Instate Applicant. You are doing a disservice to OP by trying to convince him it is a safety.</p>

<p>I’m pretty new to College Confidential, and I do not know these colleges very well, but I still think that you are very very great academic-wise as well as athletic-wise. More volunteer hours would help I think, but I’m sure you’ve got that covered. Keep up the amazing work, and I’m sure that wherever you go, you will do great!</p>
