You could bring that CRW score up. All other factors included you’ve got a perfect GPA and plenty of EC’s. Are you from Northern VA? If so, i’d say you’re a shoe-in and don’t really need to be asking if you have a chance

I’m from Virginia but Hanover County near Richmond, not Northern VA

@matts08 hanover is good, i think you’re an easy accept

I lived in Hanover/Glen Allen in elementary school (went to chamberlayne) but have been in northern va since, that’s like that only place in VA that is known for having quality HS programs outside of the north - so being in the top 1-2% of your class makes you a very competitive candidate

You are highly competitive and will almost certainly be accepted. In state, all you really need is top 10%, a decent SAT score, and some good extracurriculars. You exceed these, except for your SAT, which is only decent–but since you are applying to the E school your high math score will still count for a lot.
