<p>I would say you have an average chance at JMU and George Mason.</p>

<p>JHU and Carnegie Mellon would be a reach but I would still apply to Carnegie Mellon given your county science fair award. Perhaps go into more detail with that on your resume.
If you can, sign up for the SAT December right now and study your heart out. 700+ on CR and M will give you a better chance at all of these schools.</p>

<p>Thanks! I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do. JMU would be really expensive and my family is in our 4 year (of 7) of bankruptcy, so we don’t have a lot of money due to bankruptcy payments but none of that shows up on FAFSA stuff. I may just stay in-state at WVU.</p>
