Chances at Yale, Vand., and VA schools

<p>Currently a high school senior in Virginia. My high school is good (public), although it doesn't have quite the same resources as magnet schools in nova and whatnot. Graduating class size probably around 260.</p>

<p>Looking to see my chances at UVA (applying early action), Yale (also EA), Vanderbilt, W&M, and VT (Engineering specifically).</p>

<p>Quantitative Data:</p>

<p>SAT: 2240 R 720 M 740 W 780 (taken at the end of sophomore year; retaking in october)</p>

<p>SAT II: US Hist 780 --- Math lvl II 750 (might retake math II and also take another SAT II in november)</p>

<p>GPA (4 point scale, APs are 5, everything else is 4): 4.15 weighted, 3.96 unweighted</p>

<p>Class rank: definitely top 10%, probably around 15th in class</p>

<p>AP Scores: All 5s on AP Euro, AP USH, AP Lang+Comp, AP Calc AB</p>

<p>Will have taken 8 AP courses and one DE by graduation</p>

<p>Qualitative Data:</p>

<p>Currently taking: AP Chemistry, Physics, AP Calc BC, AP Government (US), AP Government (Comparative), DE Survey of English Literature, Madrigals (renaissance choir; most advanced choir at my school)</p>

<p>Prior classes: honors sciences (3 years), honors history (1 year), AP history (2 years), French (4 years), honors math (4 years), AP math (1 year), Photo/Cinema (2 years), honors english (2 years), AP english (1 year), various easy BS easy mandated classes</p>

<p>Extensive involvement in theater sophomore year onward. Lead role in every production since that point, currently VP of vice president of International Thespian Society, will likely be president (elections on tuesday, wish me luck)</p>

<p>9 years of guitar and vocals, including several years of leading a pretty successful regional band. Also about 5 years of Bass and Drums, and 1 year of Alto Sax. None of this is classical whatsoever, mainly rock and jazz.</p>

<p>Operate a small recording studio and live sound firm</p>

<p>National Honor Society, French National Honor Society</p>

<p>American Legion Boys State of VA</p>

<p>I'm a white male with divorced parents, if that affects anything.</p>

<p>I will hopefully have strong essays and probably good but not noteworthy recommendations. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
