Thinking of joining NHS and maybe NEHS next year. Or should I just worry about NHS?

<p>UVA - Low Reach
GW- Match? Not sure
VT- Safety (As long as you aren’t applying for engineering)
GMU- Safety
JMU- Safety
VCU- Safety</p>

<p>You might also want to look at William and Mary.</p>

<p>termah: I’m in VA. Yeah, GW’s the only DC school I’m looking at right now. </p>

<p>barrk123: I’m not going into Engineering at VT. In fact, as of right now, I’m planning of going into Accounting/Finance/MIS/ISOM (something like that) and W&M seemed more like a LAC.</p>

5

<p>Also, if anyone can give me input, what are my chances at the Honors Programs/Colleges at GMU, JMU, VCU?</p>

6

<p>William and Mary has a great business school (top 25 according to business week)</p>

<p>You’ll get into GMU and VCU with no problem. Probably JMU as well, but idk about the honors program. UVA is always a reach for anyone but they have to accept 2/3 of applicants from instate so you have a good shot. GW is a low reach/high match in my opinion. Idk enough about VA Tech.</p>

8

<p>You’ll get into GMU for sure, and VT. GW is a high match for you. Maybe for JMU.</p>

<p>You seem pretty good on the the academic side, but not on the EC side. If you can, try to distinguish yourself in your essay .</p>

<p>barrk123: I’ll be sure to look into W&M. Maybe I can squeeze a visit sometime this summer.
termah: Thanks for the input!
DebbyOkay: Yeah, I know I need to work on my EC’s some more this summer. I’m pretty confident about my college essays, so yeah, I’m just hoping for the best. I’ll be sure to check out your chance me’s.</p>
