<p>Here is my best estimate...assuming you are in the top 25% of your class (if your school provides you with a decile rank your chances would be higher):</p>

<p>Yale (first choice, applied early action) - 40%
Brown - 45%
NYU - 85%
Penn State Univ. Park - 99% (apply early...rolling admission)
Loyola in MD - 99%
American - 99%
William and Mary - 90%
UVA - 99%
Duke - 65%</p>

<p>You're stats are really good even though you don't have an spectacular EC's or crazy high GPA's. Good luck.</p>

<p>UVA wouldn't be 99% since you are out of state. UVA takes about 20% out of state. Nonetheless, you have a great shot at UVA, I'd say about 60%.</p>
