<p>Plus there's probably some other things that I don't remember, but I know I don't have much leadership but its hard to get elected to positions in clubs being in a military family. We move around a lot, do colleges take that into consideration when choosing applicants? How are my chances for getting into a Virginia school like the College of William and Mary? Any chance at an ivy? If I apply early? Thanks for all help and input!</p>

<p>Thanks! Any more help/opinions???</p>

5

<p>Good chance at UVA, if you can get your score up to 2100+ on the new SAT.</p>

6

<p>But I have to take subject tests in June so the next available SAT is in October, too late for ED apps!!! Any other opinions on college matches for me? I want a smaller school (10K or less), some place either really hot or really cold (not inbetween), and preferrably an urban or suburban school. I ran through the college search on collegeboard.com with my ACT score and William and Mary came up so I was wondering what my chances of getting into there would be approximately. (If I apply ED)</p>

7

<p>You have a good GPA, average ECs, low SAT. That probably eliminates any ivy. The VA schools are your best bet. Use your ED at one of those.</p>

8

<p>October is not too late for ED round 2 and even November would be fine if you 'rush mail' your scores to the colleges. That service costs $50, but it could be worth it to give yourself two more test dates. I'm planning to do the same, taking subject tests June/October and possibly the SAT again in November or October.</p>

9

<p>which of my scores is better, my SAT or ACT?</p>

10

<p>answer??? anyone? no?</p>

11

<p>With your scores, and EC's and BSA, I would look at all the US Service Academies.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.usmma.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.usmma.edu&lt;/a>
<a href="http://www.usna.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.usna.edu&lt;/a>
<a href="http://www.usma.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.usma.edu&lt;/a>
<a href="http://www.usafa.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.usafa.edu&lt;/a>
<a href="http://www.cga.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.cga.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>your ACT looks better than your SAT I think... but most colleges on the east coast prefer the SAT. That's what I've heard at least.</p>

<p>how are my chances at Olin College? do they have ED???</p>
