<p>You have a great shot at all your schools, so calm down haha. Here is what I think:</p>

<p>GMU-Safety
VA Tech-Match/safety
UVa-Slight reach
W&M-Slight reach/reach
UMD-slight reach
Boston college-slight reach
Georgetown-HUGE reach</p>

<p>Get your SATs up and you will have a much better chance, try and breat 2000! Good luck!!</p>

3

<p>if you are a urm, you may be shooting low. gtown is not much of a reach for you. even better if the philandering hypocrite you interned with knew you well enough to put in a call or write a personal letter on your behalf</p>

4

<p>oh my, if you could get those SAT scores up by about 100 pts per section 9maybe not even that much) you could go ivy league and all. I know it. Your ECs seem so interesting and not like everyone elses. I really think you'd be the Stanford type.</p>

5

<p>I think you will get into most, if not all the schools on your list. You should apply to your dream school if it is not one already on your list. You have a shot anywhere.</p>

6

<p>dont worry about other ppl's stats...i felt the same way when i came on here....everyone on here is just brilliant for sum reason</p>

7

<p>UMD is a match, I think.</p>

8

<p>Wow, with your story, HYPS were in the cards! You'll get into all that do a comprehensive read of your app.</p>

9

<p>"UMD-slight reach"</p>

<p>Heh, you really think that?</p>

<p>Anyway, to the topic poster, you should get into all of those.</p>

10

<p>the op is a minority, a refugee at that...</p>

<p>you can realistically get into all of those colleges.</p>

<p>i agree with whoever said that you aimed too low.</p>

11

<p>Georgetown is aiming low? Give me a break. Georgetown has a 21% acceptance rate, and it's considered one of the best schools in the country. </p>

<p>As for chances, I think you picked out a good list. You'll probably get into all of them, except:</p>

<p>BC: slight reach
Georgetown:reach</p>

12

<p>African Refugee, came in 1995, a Permanent Resident, escaped a war blah blah blah. Colorful family history (My grandfather wrote the Somali National Anthem)
Welfare family. single parent</p>

<p>^ that is why she is aiming low.</p>

13

<p>Oh, certainly community college. Jeez louise, people don't learn.</p>

14

<p>Logistics, it was just to get attention. You clearly opened this thread.</p>

15

<p>hey an update...........
I got into UMD Colli Park and an invitation into the CIVICUS program... It was weird though because I found out this weekend even though I applied regular decision........don't know what that was about but I am very happy................</p>

<p>Oh yeah, sorry about the Title of the thread, I do not really think that I am going to community college, it's just that seeing all the other amazing students on this site freaks me out and makes me think that I won't get into any college..............</p>

<p>and bobbobbob..
what do you mean by that??????</p>

16

<p>he means that with your stats, you could get in Anywhere you wanted. I agree... you are a single-parent refugee who acted in a play that traveled the World for 2.5 years, and you have high rankings in nationally sponsored organizations (NHS) ...you are most likely a shoo in....</p>

<p>wait, andrw, what do you mean I clearly opened this thread? Confused.</p>
