<li>UVA</li>

<p>First question:</p>

<p>Are you planning to apply to all those ten?</p>

<p>If yes, then you don't need much advice. But if not, then you need to narrow down to realistic reaches.</p>

<p>1: Where do you really want to go?</p>

5

<p>2: What do you want to study?</p>

6

<p>Now based on the stats you posted, all the ten schools are reaches. No-one can determine what school will take him or her and no one has the right to ascertain that for someone else either.</p>

<p>So this may sound wild, but you have equal chances at all colleges.</p>

<p>Second deduction: Yale is your match.</p>

<p>There is no safety among the ten schools because you have an equal chance of either being accepted or rejected. But based on common reasoning, Florida is sure.</p>

<p>First don't take my opnion as the only truth. Because 1. I am not a professional admissions offier and 2. I can only post based upon what I've experienced at my own school. So here it goes...</p>

<ol>
<li>Duke.....................Don't Know (No one from my school has ever applied)</li>
<li>Stanford................Don't Know (No one from my school has ever applied)</li>
<li>Vanderbilt..............Don't Know (No one from my school has ever applied)</li>
<li>Georgia Tech.......... Dont' Know(No one from my school has ever applied)</li>
<li>Yale......................Semi-Reach (Only b/c a lot of people have the same stats as you do but with a BANG)</li>
<li>Princeton................Same as Yale</li>
<li>UVA.....................Match</li>
<li>Michigan..............Dont' Know(No one from my school has ever applied)</li>
<li>Georgia...................Dont' Know(No one from my school has ever applied)</li>
<li>Florida.......................Dont' Know(No one from my school has ever applied)</li>
</ol>

<p>Sorry I messed up with the copying and pasting....for Duke I ment to put match</p>

<p>Also for UVA I am in state, so that may be why I've seen people get in with lower GPAs and SAT scores</p>

<p>Thanks, well actually my dream school is Duke and I plan to study law maybe business but most likely law. No, Im not going to apply to all I just wanted some opinions. I understand universities look for individuality which I can show them at the interview. Don't forget I am a refugee too. A nice little twist I think. &lt;/p>

<p>"There is no safety among the ten schools because you have an equal chance of either being accepted or rejected. But based on common reasoning, Florida is sure." Im pretty cofident that I could easily get into GA Tech, UGA, and Flordia having these stats.</p>

11

<p>BTW what do you think is the number one thing I could improve</p>

12

<p>athletics.</p>

13

<p>I didnt list atheltics I Have played football for 4 years and golf for 3...Lettered in both.</p>

14

<p>so are you a senior? if so, then you already applied to these schools?</p>

<p>whats the point in asking if you will get in if you have already applied? seems to me, either you are WAY too obsessed with the college process, or you are seeking some recognition for your accomplishments. either way, this seems like such a waste of time.</p>

15

<p>No I am a junior in some cases I only put "theoretical" stats that will most likely happen. I am on top of all my studies and don't plan to quit any ECs and sports. I just wanted a good idea of what it would look like next year.</p>

<p>Pusti price Edine, imas dobre sanse na svim skolama, pogotovo sto si izbjeglica, igras fudbal i golf i imas odlicne ocjene i test scores. Puno srece! Duke ti je match, to vidim!</p>
