If all goes well and i keep my grades about the same what do you think that my chances are at getting into
UVA...probably a large reach
Richmond
Vanderbilt
Elon
UNC Chapel Hill...reach probably
anywhere else you reccommend</p>

2

<p>I think your own assessment is reasonable. Have you considered Georgetown as another reach? What are your areas of interest?</p>

3

<p>i want to go into a business consulting or strategic consukting field
im thinking of a major in economics
another school i thought of was Skidmore
i will look into georgetown
thanks</p>

4

<p>also wanted to add that i have 2 1,000$ scholarships from sports and 1 $1,500 one from sports</p>

5

<p>^^^ That's actually excellent.. it's really going to help you get into a decent school, besides helping pay for it. Good luck on your SATs, take them twice is my advice (worked for me ;))</p>

6

<p>thanks again
anyone else?</p>

7

<p>other schools i thought of were bucknell and lehigh as reaches
tufts was a high reach and wake forest maybe, im not sure
any other suggestions appreciated
i would like to have an intercollegiate horse back riding team at college, because i have also been a competitive equestrian for many years and so the schools that i have mentioned for the most part have riding teams</p>

8

<p>Have you considered Washington and Lee? It's small and southern, but has high standards and some serious equestrians.. The Virginia Horse Center is next door too.</p>

9

<p>i havent looked at that yet, thanks!!!
i definitely will look into that and horseback riding is really important to me so it would be a great plus</p>

10

<p>Tufts would be reasonable high reach.</p>

11

<p>thanks

12

<p>UVA - Slight Reach (OOS)
Vanderbilt - Match / Slight Reach
UNC Chapel Hill - Slight Reach / Reach (OOS)</p>
