<p>You’re in at your targets and safeties. William & Mary and UVA look like safe bets too; I’d say G-town is the only one that’s a little dicey. What about SAT I? Are you retaking that ACT?</p>

<p>Chance back please! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1118399-chance-theatre-acting-inclined-junior-ill-chance-you-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1118399-chance-theatre-acting-inclined-junior-ill-chance-you-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>yes plan on retaking SAT I, and SAT II tests at end of year</p>

5

<p>I’d say you’ve got a great chance at both your target schools, and safety schools. Keep up your great work!</p>

<p>I agree as the SAT scores could be improved, Georgetown is the only one that stands out as a reach but other than that you should be good as you have a strong resume! Good luck!</p>
