Chances at UVA, Georgetown, Tufts, etc.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>UW GPA: approximately 3.8
SAT: (first try)
CR - 700
W - 800
M - 710
TOTAL = 1410/2210</p>

<p>SAT IIs:
Spanish - 770
Writing - 750 (not sure if this matters)
Math IC - 700
Bio - 560 (I know, I know...it was freshman year.)</p>

<p>AP USH - 4</p>

<p>Senior year courses:
AP Bio
AP Spanish
AP English Lit.
AP Macro
AP Calc BC
Adv. Dance</p>

<p>ECs:
School newspaper (10th = writer, 11th = entertainment copy editor, 12th = managing/copy editor)
Nat'l Honor Society (President)
Tutoring club for students at the middle school (founder and co-president)
Camp counselor for 4 summers (volunteered one year)
Studying French independently
Tutor math weekly (paid)</p>

<p>I'm a white female from New York. I moved from Houston, TX when I was 13 if it matters. I go to a high-ranking public HS. They don't rank students, but my counselor's guess is that I'm in the top 7%.</p>

<p>I've pretty much taken the most rigorous courses offered (a lot of honors, 6 APs total). Thus far, I've gotten one B in high school (88 in Physics). I'm expecting great recommendations, and I've gotten very good feedback on my essays.</p>

<p>I want to major in either linguistics, Spanish, int'l economics, or int'l relations.</p>

<p>Chances @ UVA (ED), Georgetown, Tufts (about 9 kids from my school got accepted there last year), UNC-CH, UPenn (huge reach, I know), William & Mary, Middlebury, University of TX, Penn State, Dickinson?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I have divided the schools that you mentioned into a few catagories; with respect to admission.</p>

<p>Reach:
Gtown
Upenn (more of a high reach)</p>

<p>Low Reach:
Midd
UNC-CH
Tufts</p>

<p>Match:
William and Mary</p>

<p>Safety:
TX
Dickinson
Penn State</p>

<p>Personally, I think that you need to bring up your SATs. Although your 800 on writing is quite impressive, the other (MORE IMPORTANT) sections are very 'Eh' for your reach schools. Your score, 1410, is around average for most of your reach schools. Especially since you hope to major in foreign relations, I would reccomend trying to bring your CR to somewhere around 750. Otherwise your fine. If you choose not to repeat the SAT, make sure that your essays are phenomonal!</p>

<p>Good luck, I think you have what it takes to be accepted into one of your reaches.</p>

<p>Note: you need more matches!!</p>

<p>Thanks for your help! Where would you categorize UVA (early decision)--reach or low reach? That's the one I'm really concerned about.</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know if I'd make the honors program at Penn State and is there anything I have to send in with the app. for that?</p>
