<p>You are a lock for UGA.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>Your GPA & SAT scores are low for UVa. However, it’s impressive that you took 16 AP classes, but I don’t know how well you did in them, so if you got B-'s or lower most of the time, that’s not good. Applying Early Action is a good thing, and the fact that you’re Native American (diversity!) and have a legacy is in your favor. Your letters from wealthy alumni will help as well.<br>
Based of just merit, I’ll be honest, you wouldn’t get in. The other factors (diversity, legacy, alumni) might push you over the edge but don’t count on it. Plan on back-ups/safetys. Something along the lines of St.Joe’s, Drexel or Hofstra.</p>
<p>UGA/South Carolina- match. You’ll definitely get in, especially UGA.<br>
For Harvard, your ACT is too low. Your GPA is strong but the ACT’s weakness may overshadow that.<br>
UVa, Wake Forest, Cornell seem like pretty good matches, but it’s a toss up with those schools. They’re all superb and tough to get into, but you seem to have the credentials. Your AP’s are very strong and the honors classes is extremely helpful.<br>
If you have a legacy at any of these three previously mentioned places, that will only increase your chances. Not so much for Harvard, though, your ACT’s are too low for the Ivies (especially Harvard).
I think you have a good mix of schools to apply to! Best of luck.<br>
Please chance me!! My thread is in this catagory (“Chance Me”) and is about Lehigh & Villanova</p>
<p>I think both of you have a good chance at UVA!!</p>
