<p>I’ll try to chance you for the schools I know enough about.
UVa - In
W&M - In
JMU - Definitely In
Washington & Lee - Unlikely</p>

<p>W&L is like below 20% acceptance rate.</p>

<p>UVA: Match
W&M: Match
JMU: Safety
W&L: High match
Richmond: Match
Sewanee: Low match
Bucknell: Match
Vanderbilt: Reach</p>

<p>Assuming you live in Virginia, Vandy = high reach, UVA & W&M = reaches (if bump up SATs 100 points, then this changes to match), Richmond, and Bucknell = matches. JMU and Sewanee = safeties.</p>

6

<p>I would say you’re good on all but W&L and Vanderbilt. Probably reaches there.</p>

7

<p>bumped my SAT up to 2110!! anyone else??</p>

8

<p>Richmond: Low match
Sewanee: Safety
Bucknell: Low match</p>

<p>All other ratings from my part are unchanged.</p>

<p>First of all, post your unweighted GPA, not weighted. Weighted GPAs are completely useless information since every school does it differently. Yes, it will be lower, but it is what it is in reality.</p>

<p>That being said, schools like Vanderbilt and James Madison are a reach. You need to be aiming for around a 2200 to be competitive at top notch colleges and your test scores may put you at a slight disadvantage. I just saw your 2100 SAT; see if this can be superscored to just a little higher! Most people use score choice so DO NOT PUT YOURSELF AT A DISADVANTAGE!!</p>

<p>Here is what I would do if I were you:
-Find a focus to your ECs and mend your R</p>
