<p>Here are my stats:</p>

**A bunch of clubs that I have joined and kind of participated in. I am just a regular member, and beyond attending the meetings and any fundraisers, I don't do much. Should I put the clubs in or is it just unneeded fluff? Examples: FMP, Key Club, Beta Club, Leo Club, and a few more.</p>

<p>--Sorry for being vague with some of my activities. I know some people in real life who surf this website and would prefer if they did not know my username. </p>

<p>I'm mainly concerned with my academics. I'm 75% sure I can get into VT/GMU, but as for UVA and WM, I don't know. My extracurriculars are an okay for a UVA applicant, but I'm worried my grades will just sink everything down. </p>

<p>What are your thoughts? Assuming my essays and recommendations are decent, do I have a chance at UVA and WM? Please be honest. I appreciate any input.</p>

<p>Great profile! But I’d recommend you retake your SAT.</p>

<p>With your current stats, I’d say:
UVA: low reach
W&M: low reach / high match
VT: mid match
GMU: low match / safety</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thank you for replying! =D </p>

<p>I was planning to apply EA for UVA, but I guess I will take my time and do RD. If I get a ~2100, will that help enough or should I aim much higher? And I have a somewhat relevant question: do subject tests impact the application that much?</p>

<p>You should always aim as high as possible :slight_smile: But honestly, 2100-2200 is solid for that school. </p>

<p>Subject tests are definitely important, but as long as you have two scores of 700+ you’ll be good.</p>
