<p>My chances?</p>
<p>ignore the first one haha</p>
<p>Well... I pretty much second what Spiders05 said. Try retaking the SATs or try the ACT. Your GPA is fine, I think. I think the best thing you could do, besides trying to increase your test scores, would be to find something you really love--some EC, sport, hobby...job...something--and really throw yourself into it. Be a leader, start your own club, something that attracts attention.</p>
<p>I forgot to put on my ECs that I play 2 years Varsity Baseball and 2 years Varsity Soccor.</p>
<p>I'm also going to a leadership conference at Wake</p>
<p>For candidates like this, I think the best thing to increase your chance is to have at least ONE unique skill/talent. Your grades are honestly not the best, and having a random bunch of ECs wouldn't help at all. </p>
<p>Increase your SAT scores, too, as my fellow Richmonder suggested, to about 600-700 for each section, so you'll have 1800-2100 as your range, which is typically the range of accepted students.</p>
<p>You will likely not be admitted with your low LSAT. I would suggest either attending an engineering program at NC State or UNC/branch campus or if you are gung ho about a liberal arts education, you could take a year off after high school to develop a business of some variety and retake your SATs. You could even make up a story about your business. It doesn't need to work, but it will make you look like a winner to college application readers and you will boost your ability to make it into better colleges than UR. If you are good at what you do, you may realize you can contribute more to society by not supporting a small relatively unheard-of University of Richmond.</p>
<p>Unless college applications have changed SIGNIFICANTLY since I applied to UR, I'd say you have a good chance of getting in, especially if you can get your SAT scores up. I would agree with the suggestion that you show some leadership in the groups that you are involved in. Keep pushing yourself, especially in the APs and honor courses, and, for the love of God, DO NOT write your application essay about how the "big game" totally changed your life. Make your essay stand out about SOMETHING. UR is a great school with a lot of opportunities do shine here; good luck!!</p>
<p>How come every kid that goes to private school thinks they went to the "MOST EXTREME, SUPER HARD, CUTTHROAT SCHOOL" in the country? I doubt there are many top Private schools in NC compared to many California and Northeast schools.</p>
<p>BUt to answer your question, I wouldn't let you in because you sound boring, due to your abysmal SAT score and a dime a dozen ECs.</p>
<p>The hard part of college admissions is we can all guess who will get in, but we actually do not know until you see what your competition is and how your application turns out. It’s great that you are already taking the time to see which schools you would have a better chance of getting in. If you aren’t completely satisfied with your SAT scores then try to play up the other parts of application. From your participation in the varsity sport, you should explain in the activity section about what it has meant. You could be showing your leadership skills in those areas. University of Richmond does a great job at looking at the overall picture. They will know about your school and how competitive it is and will take that into consideration. So I would work very hard on my essay, keep a hard schedule your senior year, keep your grades up and apply. If you are really interested apply early decision so you will know ahead of time.</p>
<p>Your GPA is righ smack in the in the middle of UR's average, 3.48. Your SAT math is at the high range of averageRichmond admits, your writing at the low end of average.The reading is the only negative. You seem to have a good chance. Don't beat yourself up worrying about this! Take the ACT as you seem to do well in Math. Write a passionate essay. UR has an over 40% acceptance rate, and more like 65% for men. Do the math.</p>
<p>While I don't know the breakdown by sex, the acceptance rate at UR this year was 38%. There was a record number of applicants this year. GPA's for the c/o 2011 was up and the SAT scores were about the same. As of May 14th, the class was 777 students, 55 of which received a full tuition scholarship. </p>
<p>I would imagine the number of applicants will continue to climb higher over the next few years. The admissions department has made some really positive changes and are doing a great job of getting the UR message out to students and parents in a way that is easy to comprehend and they're putting together some great programs for a grassroots effort of recruiting students. </p>
<p>Couple those efforts and programs with vibrant campus that's recently built one new dorm, a new recreation center, a new political science building, has renovated all the dorms, the science building, the dining hall, the library, the Robins Center (arena), the baseball field and currently has plans to expand the business school, the law school, build a new football stadium on campus, a new "family room-esque" building and a new center for international studies (after being named by Newsweek as the hottest school in the country for studying abroad) and I think students and their families will see that UR is continuing to build on what they do well and working on making the school the best it can be.</p>
