Chances for UVA, W&M, NYU, VA Tech...

<p>Okay, so I'm a senior living in Virginia, and I'm going to soon be applying to colleges. My first choice right now is UVA. I have a weighted GPA of 4.2, and I'm in the top 10% of my class (21 out of 290). By the end of this year, I will have taken 7 AP classes in my high school career. My SAT score was an 1890 (570 in Math, 640 in Critical Reading, and 680 in Writing), but I just retook it so it'll hopefully be higher. I played on my school soccer team for two years, have starred in two musicals, was the student director of an award-winning One Act play, am currently acting in a One Act play, am the Editor-in-Chief of my school paper (and was last year), am the Historian of National Honor Society, and in Spanish National Honor Society, Environmental Club, and Spanish Club. I have tons of volunteer hours and was a lifeguard for two summers. I have won multiple awards for journalism and a poetry award. I know I'll be able to write strong essays, and get good teacher recommendations.</p>

<p>I'm very worried about my SAT score, especially my Math one. Math is clearly not "my thing".</p>

<p>If you have any experience with the UVA admissions process, then please let me know what you think my chances are of getting in!</p>

<p>Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>P.S. I am Hispanic, so I don't know how much that impacts admission.
P.S.S. I was accepted into and attended Summer Residential Governor's School for Humanities this past summer (apparently UVA loves gov school).</p>

<p>I think W&M and, to a lesser extent, VA Tech, likes Gov school too. That said…</p>

<p>UVA: Match (Gov school helps you here)
W&M: Reach
VA Tech: Low match
NYU: High match</p>

<p>You’re solid for UVA but admissions there is very much a crapshoot. Your standout EC’s are great though and the theater stuff might even be considered a hook. That said, I would say you’re 50/50 at both UVA and W&M. Probably match at NYU and safety at VT.</p>

<p>Perhaps high match since the reach status I gave was a provisional one for W&M.</p>
