Thank you!

low chance bc of sat. You really should get that up

GW is test optional. Did you submit scores?

Comparing you to kids from my school that have gotten into UVA here (I live in VA as well) - I’d say you have a good shot at UVA. Can’t really speak for the others. Best of luck!!!

I think you’d probably be a strong candidate for your remaining schools (granted, I only applied to Georgetown and NYU from that list, and I’m not an expert). A less-than stellar SAT score probably matters less than you think it does.

Which college did you apply to at Georgetown? I got in EA at the College with stats similar to yours (slightly lower GPA, slightly higher test scores). I think if I got in the EA round you should be able to get in RD (GTown accepts fewer people EA). I haven’t heard back from NYU yet, but based on some kids who applied there ED from my school, I think you have a good chance there, too.

Good luck with all your decisions! You’ll end up at a great school regardless.
