<p>I think your chances for dickinson are great. However many of my friends applied to college of w & m with similar stats to you (some with higher GPAs) and they were waitlisted. I’d say you have good chances for Bucknell, Lehigh, Colgate, UVA and BC. With vanderbilt and middlebury, you may have slightly less chances than with the previous ones, but you still have a good chance.
Your math scores are a little low, but nothing too catastrophic.</p>

<p>thanks for the imput - although I’m surprised you said UVA. I’m out of state, and I thought that would be my biggest reach</p>

<p>The only school that you have listed that I can give an fairly accurate “chance” on is Bucknell. A girl from my school scored and 1880 on the SATs and had ECs that were maybe slightly better than yours. So, I would say that you have about an 80% on being accepted to Bucknell.</p>

<p>UVirginia is difficult oos but b/c they are so much larger than the rest of your schools, they actually accept a larger amount of students which helps your cause. W&M is 1/3 the size and you woudl be oos as well. You can do the math.</p>

<p>Vanderbilt, Middlebury, Colgate, W&M are all extremely difficult for acceptance but you definitely have a decent chance. Good luck.</p>
