<p>I'd say you have more than a decent shot at any of those schools. good luck.</p>

4

<p>University Of Virginia and Boston College should be solid schools.</p>

<p>Cornell and Georgetown are probably reach schools</p>

<p>im wondering whether Georgetown is even worth it lol im sick of taking SATs and georgetown is the only school on my college list that requires 3... but i guess ill go through with it, i forgot a lot of us history from last year but we'll see</p>

<p>Here's my spiel about the University of Virginia. In all respects, I would treat it like an ivy; the average GPA of incoming freshmen is over 4.0 (but that's an average, not a benchmark), and if you're applying out of state, the competition is going to be fierce. </p>

<p>If you live in Virginia, your chances are quite good for admission; if you are out-of-state, on the other hand, I'd say you have a better shot at Cornell. Hope this helps you out!</p>
