<p>Any ideas for safety schools? I can also get Washington State in state tuition rates.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Ehh, it’s kind of a toss-up. Your SAT/gpa/ECs are okay for a Virginia applicant. But, I’m guessing you’re not in-state, so they’re low-ranking stats for an OOS app. Applying can never hurt though, so try it that’s what you want.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I do live in state. I will get in state tuition because my dad is military stationed in the state and we have lived here for 7 years. I hope they consider me in state for admissions. UVA is my #1. Any ideas for safety shcools?</p>
<p>I would also consider James Madison U. (not even close the the campus feel of UVA, but it’s the up-and-coming in-state school (accepted avg. GPA is 3.7, but UVA is a 4.2 avg.). The other in-state VA school that many apply to as a safety after UVA is U. of Mary Washington. Nicer campus than JMU but way more woman than men (60/40). Probably just solely based on the name – still a good school and a good back up to UVA. William and Mary is more competative than UVA because it’s much smaller – less slots to fill. </p>
<p>Your resume looks good, but try to take more AP’s if possible. Even if they won’t be seeing your exam scores in May, they will see that you are taking a challenging courseload. Good luck!</p>
<p>Oh, sorry, just saw that you will be having a total of 6 APs by end – good! What are you taking your next subj. test in?</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestions. I will look at both schools. I am going to take physics and us history subjects in November.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in the sciences or in engineering, Virginia Tech would be a good option.</p>
<p>U-Va does not recalculate GPAs. So if your GPA is weighted and reported by your school as a 4.0 or over I’d say you’re in good shape. I second the JMU, Mary Washington, and Tech suggested back-ups, but strongly disagree that William and Mary is more competitive in state for boys (which I assume from your screen name that you are). In fact, it’s a lot easier to get into William and Mary as a boy because they have many, many more girls applying and they want something resembling a gender balance. U-Va, on the other hand, is gender neutral in admissions. If you go back and look you’ll see that for years and years a years William and Mary has been accepting a much higher percentage of male applicants than female.</p>
<p>Curious how you can get in state tuition for both Washington State and UVA. How does that work?</p>
<p>My parents are legal residents of Washington State. My dad is in the military and is stationed in Virginia (we all live in Virginia). Virginia has a law that allows dependents of military stationed in the state to receive in state tuition. We will have to provide the required documents showing all this. I actually think of Virginia as home since I have lived here for 7 years.</p>
<p>How about University of Washington as a safety?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it has a higher acceptance rate than UVA, and it’s a pretty well-known research university, so that’s a plus. And you’d get in-state tuition, so you’d save $ while at it, too.</p>
<p>Seattle also seems like a great city (minus the rain bit, I suppose). The few people that I know who have lived there have all loved it and unanimously thought of it as an exceptionally pretty city with lots of winsome green space.</p>
<p>Thank you for the replys. Yes I do plan to apply to Univ of Washington but not sure where else.</p>
