<p>Hi,
I am no expert but I live in Virginia and my daughter's peers are interested in many of the same schools you are; your grades and test scores are better than theirs. Based on what I know, I would say yes for C of Charleston; yes to JMU; yes to Elon; yes to U of Richmond; and MAYBE to UVA and MAYBE to W & M.</p>
<pre><code>As an aside, one of my daughter's friends attends a high school that recently had 10 of 12 students applying accepted to W & M; this is instate, of course. Two people we know are applying to W & M this year and their stats are --
</code></pre>
<p>Student 1:
gpa 3.0, SATs 2000, all-prep football player, Varsity 4 years</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>Student 2:
gpa weighted 3.4, ACT 29, difficult curriculum, Varsity sport, lots of ECs </p>
<p>I offer that to show you some of the in-state applicants' credentials, so to speak. </p>
<p>I think it is just harder for an OOS student, and I empathize with you. My daughter would love to attend an out of state public ivy but it is too competitive and too expensive. We would have to move there to make it happen and we may just have to!</p>
<p>Good luck with your applications!</p>
<p>I would say the OP has a decent chance.</p>
<p>I would say the 2 instate students in LC's post don't stand much of a chance, unless they are being recruited.</p>
<p>ED application just sent. I'm nervous and excited and will be anxious for December 1st to arrive with my answer.</p>
<p>Also thanks for the responses for my chances. For UVA, as a legacy applicant I am just about equivalent to an in state student per the UVA alumni association.</p>
<p>rocketplayer, I agree with soccerguy about your positive chances at W & M. My d, also an OOS female (from NY), was accepted ED last year with slightly lower GPA, slightly higher SATs, similar ECs, and no work experience. If your recs and essays are very good, I think you have a nice chance.</p>
<p>At the other schools, I think your chances are good, as well. At our hs, UVA is a very tough admit, but legacies are considered as in-state students - that will certainly work in your favor. I think you have a great list there - all schools my kids considered and liked. </p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>Anyone else with an opinion on election day?</p>
<p>Please someone else, getting so nervous as I await ED letter.</p>
