Chances: UVA, Vanderbilt, Northwestern

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>11th Grade - Male - Texas</p>

<p>UW gpa - ?
W gpa - 4.22 (Top 10%)</p>

<p>SAT
M - 750; V - 620; W - 700 (Totals: 1370; 2070)</p>

<p>ACT
31 Composite; M.33, S.31, W.31, E.29</p>

<p>Taking very heavy courseload with all AP/Honors classes</p>

<p>APs when I graduate: Modern Euro, US History, Calc., Economics or US Govt., Physics II, English IV, maybe Spanish IV...have taken an AP every available time except for the art related ones.</p>

<p>Also a question...would Spanish 5 or Spanish 4 AP look better for me to take as a senior? 5 has a good teacher and would be easier, so if AP doesn't look significantly better, I will stick with 5.</p>

<p>*4 years of baseball (2 JV, 2 V) - JV captain as sophomore; starter each year
*3 years of football (2 JV, 1 V) - JV captain as sophomore; starter each year
*Basketball in a Church league - 10, 11, and will in 12th
*Select Summer Baseball - 9, 10, 11, and will in 12th
*some but not a ton of community service (~20 hours/year)
*club president - have held charity events for the club
*1 of 2 students from my grade chosen to attend Business/Leadership Camp in late April
*simple summer jobs</p>

<p>I have a longer list of EC's, that is just a short list of the activities that are the most important to me.</p>

<p>I realize the schools I am asking chances for are tough to get into. If you have any suggestions of similar schools that I may be interested in please mention them. Looking for: Division 1 sports, good academic reputation, good social, greek life - doesn't have to be huge, just fun.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Out of state UNC and UVA are going to be reaches as will Northwestern. UNC and UVA primarily because you are OOS, in-state you would be in. Vanderbilt is realistic. Also check out Wake Forest, division 1 sports, greek life, great academics and it is a good match for you, I'm a freshman here, so I could answer any more questions you have about it.</p>

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

<p>Just looking at your college list, I'd suggest applying to UMich, which would be a nice match. It is quite similar to the schools you listed so far :)</p>

<p>Thanks so far. UVA is the top school on my list so far...my brother goes there and after visiting I loved it. I've considered Wake Forest but from what I here there is no Engineering school there...that is all that turned me away from it.</p>

<p>Michigan would be pretty fun too. Another quick question, what exactly does Reach or Slight Reach or Match mean? I understand what each basically means, but what chance of admission could I expect from a "reach" school assuming I have good-great essays, recs, etc.?</p>

<p>anything else?</p>
