<p>Good luck!!! Your URM status should help you. It is only 10 more days till you know your decision!!! Once again, Good luck.</p>

4

<p>well i'm a junior but yea..i hope this time next year i get the letters i am looking for...THANX...good luck to u too</p>

<p>If your first choice is UVA, and you feel confident enough to apply early decision (I think that's what they have) I would be very suprised if you didn't get in. In fact, I'd say Duke was a very real possibility... at least comparing your stats to my non-URM friend who got in ED (EA? I don't know which one they have.) I'd try to up the SAT a bit, get a leadership position, and take off "Who's Who" from your list of accomplishments, as it means nothing. Good luck though...</p>

<p>bump......................</p>

<p>My guess is your overall GPA is around 3.6, your SATs are solid, your ECs are decent, and you'll definitely get a boost from your URM status, so... </p>

<p>Cornell - High Match/Low Reach
UVA - Match
Geogetown - High Match
Duke - Reach
Princeton - Big Reach
University of Maryland-College Park - Low Match/Safety
UMichigan - Match
UNC- Chapel Hill - Match
University of Miami - Safety</p>

<p>A couple of the schools you listed I didn't comment on because I don't know anything about them.</p>
