Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>What are my chances at some of the top schools in the south? Vandy, W and L, Emory, William and Mary, and Wake Forest
If I were to go ED to Vanderbilt, would my chances there be much better?</p>

<p>3.55 UW GPA at a very competitive NY high school
SAT I's: 720 Verbal, 690 Math
SAT II's: 780 Writing, 700 Math IIC, 640 Physics
APs: English Composition 5, Physics 4, Biology 5, Chemistry 4, English Literature 5
ECs: Preparatory Program at a NY music school on weekends 8-12 grade, 3 years varsity Lacrosse, 2 years varsity ski team, National Merit Scholar Honorable Mention for PSAT, Area- All State on my instrument from 10-12 grade, 4 years of Band.
Good Essay and Solid Recommendations (I assume).
However, I finished on a slightly downward trend and junior year was all Bs to B+s.
Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>ur in at all of those, regardless ED or not</p>

3

<p>Just curious, are you going to play Lacrosse in college? Even if intramural?</p>

<p>Such a great sport...</p>

<p>I think you're in at Washington & Lee and Wake. Maybe look into Tulane? William and Mary out of state can be tricky but good shot. Emory is a reach, Vandy should be considered one also but a realistic one. If you really like the school, do ED.</p>

5

<p>Probably gonna get into all of them, but if you want to take out hours in the College of Arts and Science, you need all 5's o APs (just telling to you)</p>

6

<p>Thanks for all your feedback. I was under the impression that it would be a super reach for william and mary and the others were pretty much target/reaches. Does anyone know people who have gotten into these schools and their academic records? Thanks again.</p>

<p>And I also intend to play intramural Lax but I am not good enough for Varsity.</p>

13

<p>Decent, why was Davidson not on you original list?</p>

14

<p>I didnt think of it till I got a letter from them today and was reminded of how great a school they are.</p>

15

<p>I think you'll be into at least 3 of those... but probably not all 5.</p>

<p>William and Mary doesn't have intramural lax... you can play club though.</p>
