<p>Hi i really need to stop guessing and get someone else's opinion on this
I am first graduating class at an IB school(kinda like AP)</p>

<p>-OOS (southern new hampshire)
-3.53 UW 3.75W GPA
-1930 SAT's (660r/700m/570w)
-did not interview</p>

<p>at least honors English/Math/History/Sciences freshmen-senior year</p>

<p>junior year-AP psych-5
IB English/history (IB tests at the end of senior year)
IB psysics HL (higher level-harder than AP)
IB math SL (standard level-AP)
Senior year-IB psysics 2 HL
IB math SL
AP Literature</p>

<p>Extracurriculars
Robotics team (9-11th) was chief fundraiser in 10th/treasurer 11th-raised $4000
Cashier job (10-15 hrs/week) (11-12)
Varsity swimming 12th grade
Environmental awareness club (11-12th)
founding member of the debate team (12th)
CTY (academic camp) (9th-10th) </p>

<p>I kinda think this is a low reach for me, any ideas?</p>

<p>I am also looking into UVA, so I can only tell you advice based off what I have been told myself. </p>

<p>I would suggest raising your GPA a bit closer to 4.0. And the SAT scores. I was told that UVA likes scores closer to 2100s. Maybe volunteering?</p>

<p>But all your ECs and AP/IB classes look pretty impressive; if you haven’t already, I also would suggest taking the AP tests (i’m not sure if the are IB versions of AP tests).</p>

<p>Hope this helps. And good luck!</p>

<p>for OOS standards, your GPA and SAT is low (that 570 in Writing means you will need an outstanding, outstanding essay!!). EC’s are decent. You’ve haven’t received any awards during your high school career? And no community service? Ranking in your grade?</p>

<p>I would say high reach (just being honest). Give it a shot and good luck!</p>
