<p>Chances at UVA/William Mary/V-tech/JMU</p>

<p>Race: Asian/Chinese</p>

<p>I attend Oakton High School in Northern Virginia</p>

<p>Overall GPA: 3.875 (UW)
SAT: 1980
690 M, 640 V, 650 W Took the October SAT- They will go up.
SAT II: 800 Math 2c, 710 Chemistry Will take Chinese with listening in November- likely 800.</p>

<p>I didnt really challenge myself until my Junior year. Will that considerably damage my chances?</p>

<p>Freshman GPA: 3.6
Not many honor courses</p>

<p>Sophomore GPA: 3.8
Similar to freshman year, not many honor courses</p>

<p>Junior GPA: 4.0 (UW) 4.2 (W)
4 AP's, honors</p>

<p>Senior GPA: ~4.0 (UW) 4.2-3 (W)
4 AP's, honors</p>

<p>Took Summer School classes to get ahead: A's</p>

<p>EC:
varsity track, martial arts, regional band etc etc. plus numerous cliche ec's such as national honor society etc.
Overall EC's are very good. Includes Leadership positions.
I Work (If that helps at all) 5-6hrs on weekends</p>

<p>Awards:
numerous track awards, numerous martial arts trophies, numerous band awards, cliche awards such as honor roll etc.</p>

<p>Essays and Recommendations, I assume will be above par.</p>

<p>I will be applying to UVA Early decision.
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>sorry if this counts as double posting. this thread was just copy/pasted from the chances thread. i was hoping i could get more views from the UVA section.</p>

<p>uva is a reach for you.</p>

<p>Excellent chance at UVA and W&M. You may not get into both but you'll at least get into one. Applying ED to UVA is definitely a plus. If you're deferred from UVA, you'll easily get into the honors programs at VT and JMU.</p>

<p>im sorry this is an old thread, but I suddenly had an urge to bump it back up at 2:55 in the morning.</p>

<p>What am I lacking?</p>

<p>My GPA?
My SAT?
My EC's?</p>

<p>JMU and VT, you're in. UVA and W&M typically look for SATs over 2000, but you're close enough. I would say both of them are 50-50. I live in FX county too, and I'm looking into UVA and W&M too!</p>

<p>I wish you the best of luck LizzieE. Did you apply for early decision?</p>

<p>Yes, in fact, I just broke the 2100 mark on the october SAT. I really hope that helps. UVA's great.</p>

7

<p>thats great! i broke 2100 in October too! No, I didnt apply ED b/c I don't want to be bound.</p>

8

<p>school rank?</p>

9

<p>I am in the top 10% of my school.</p>

10

<p>Top 10% definitely helps. I would be shocked if you didn't get into either UVA or W&M, if not both. You fit the profile of the typical UVA instate admit.</p>
