<p>Only school I dont think you have a chance at is W&M.</p>

3

<p>W&M is definite reach. All others look pretty good.</p>

4

<p>University of Maryland, William and Mary, and George Washington are reaches (line in northern va). William and Mary is a high reach, you have a shot at both GW and U of Maryland.</p>

<p>DO NOT SEND YOUR SAT SCORES!!!
31 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1780
If you havent requested they be sent, dont do it
i dont care if colleges say they take the better of the two -- you dont need them second-guessing that 31...</p>

<p>seconded about the ACT over SAT.</p>

<p>I don't think you could get into W&M. In at Mason and VCU. Don't know about the others. Tech, probably.</p>

<p>I can only speak for the Virginia schools. I don't feel that you would be accepted to William and Mary. Your GPA and SAT scores are too low. Virginia Tech is a maybe, possibly a waitlisted status. VCU and George Mason................a resounding YES. You will have an easy acceptance to both of those schools. Good Luck!</p>

<p>I just transferred from George Mason to W&M. Mason sounds like a perfect fit. Large middle-eastern community there. Also, you're in at VCU. Those two are obvious. Tech and UMD are reaches, better shot at Tech (hard to call). GWU is a farther reach that those two but still attainable. W&M, unless there you have passion or a hook I can't see it. I mean if you really want it then apply anyway, I just can't see it.</p>
