<p>any volunteering?
your EC are awesome…see if u can isolate one in particular where u have a leadership position…admissions committees like to see that.
You UW GPA is a little low for schools like NYU but i guess your rigorous courses are worth it. Given your high SAT score I would say and all other factors:
JMU ???
Virginia Tech match
UVA match
William & Mary (Early Decision w/3.65 weighted GPA) match/ low reach
NYU match/low reach (prefferably higher GPA!!!) apply ED if u decide on it!
Boston College match
UMiami match/low reach
Mary Washington ???</p>
