<p>Hey everyone,
My name is John Stewart (not related to the daily show host) and I have a question about my chances of getting accepted to either William and Mary, UVA, or Davidon. Here's some stuff about me:</p>

<p>4.5 GPA
Top 15% of very competitive class of 510 students
7 AP (USHistory, Gov't, Bio, Stats, Calc, English, Envi Sci) 4's and 5's on all exams
All others core classes are honors.
Eagle Scout, 100 comm serv. hours
NHS, Beta, Astronomy, JSA clubs
Very involved in church. Youth Committee Leader.
Marching band for 4 years and all-district member as well as section leader and jazz band member.
Experience in the workfield.
Around 2100 on the SAT.
Good essays and recommendations.
Math and Science Specialty Center member with award winning science fair projects.
Family Connections at UVA (don't know if that will help).</p>

<p>What are the odds of getting accepted into either one these three schools? And is there any chance for a scholarship? Much appreciated.</p>

<p>In my humble opinion you have good chances at Davidson, over 50% but below 80%, so 65%? I wouldn't bet on the major scholarships. However, if you have financial need, and like community service I would reccomend applying for the Bonner Scholarship, its not much but its something and it looks really good. Any other questions about Davidson?</p>

<p>My best advice is to show great interest in Davidson while applying here...the admissions office looks very favorably on this! The Bonner scholarship is really nice, and if you have need it will open up a few other doors for money! I would never count on a major scholarship coming down the line at any school, but you have a shot!</p>

<p>Best of Luck!</p>
