<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm British - been living stateside for four years. I've applied to six British universities, but in case that doesn't work out I'm also applying to some American ones. </p>
<p>I'm in Virginia, so I'm planning to apply to UVA, William and Mary, and UNC as I know these well. However, I was wondering if you could help me build a list of safety/match/reach schools in the US. Preferably on the east coast.</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<p>GPA - 4.0 weighted, 3.9 unweighted (one B in ninth grade!) will be above a 4.0 by graduation.
SAT- took the old one twice, then took the new one twice. Have 620 Maths/ 700 Verbal / 760 Writing = 2080.
ACT- 31 composite.
Rank - 1/243.</p>

<ul>
<li>Dual Enrollment is a VA thing - it's college credit offered through a community college when the school doesn't offer AP. Our school offers very few APs, especially in the humanities/arts.</li>
<li>Also planning to take an Intro Italian college class at a local college in VA in Spring 2006.</li>
</ul>
<p>AP Tests:
US History - 5
I will take AP English Lit/ AP French Language. Will hopefully do well on the exams as I am going to be made offers on them by UK universities.</p>
<p>SAT IIs:
US History - 720
Will take French and Literature in January. May also take World History.</p>
<p>Awards/Honours/Extracuricculars:</p>
<ul>
<li>National Latin Exam - perfect score, 1% of all test takers internationally acheived this. Will be taking it again for Level 2 this year.</li>
<li>Outstanding US History student award (ironic!).
-First place in Chem science fair locally, regionally, and specially asked to attend state competition.</li>
<li>Academic letter for honour roll</li>
<li>French Club member for years.</li>
<li>Film society member.</li>
<li>Now one of the two officers ("co-president") for our school French Honours Society. </li>
<li>Also Latin Club Member, and Beta Club member (community service/ academic honours club).
-Contributed to creation of high school literary magazine, also founded/co-edited another lit. mag.</li>
<li><p>Should receive a VA Govenor's Seal / also should be a VA Early College Scholar.</p></li>
<li><p>Have got very nice recommendations from teachers thus far.</p></li>
<li><p>Will be applying to do English Lit. at university as a major, and a foreign language minor. Being British, though, I'm not sure which schools are known to have good English departments here.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!</p>
