<p>The only school on the list that I know is a safety for me is VaTech, so I need advice for another safety. I also want to add another match, and another reach to this list:</p>
<p>The list is not in order of preference</p>
<p>UVA (ED) <--- want this the most
William and Mary
Virginia Tech
Georgia Tech
University of Illinois - U C
Tufts <--- not too sure about this
Cornell</p>
<p>9 schools is the max I was going to apply to. I mainly want good engineering schools.</p>
<p>Here are some schools that I crossed off my list, I know they aren't safeties but I was rethinking some to add as either matches or reaches.</p>
<p>University of Michigan - Need to do more research
Penn State - Need to do more research
Carnagie Mellon - expensive, I already had Tufts and Cornell on the list
John's Hopkins - expensive, but I could do a co-op program at Naval Research Labs to help that.</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.695 weighted, 3.630 unweighted
Note: my school doesn't give a lot of credit for APs and none for Honors. It's just 0.5 added to a grade in an AP class.</p>
<p>APs: CHEM-4, USHIST-4, EnglishLANG-4
APs this year: Computer Science AB, Calculus BC, Physics C, English Literature, and Government
Other classes: Spanish 1-4, honors core classes except for history my first two years, band first 2 years, some electives.</p>
<p>SAT: Math-710, CR-730, Writing-660, total-2100, or 1440 traditionally
SAT II's: MathIIC: 700, USHIST: 660, ENGLISH: 670
Note: I will retake some SATIIs, but not in time for UVA ED, It will be on all of my regular apps, and on UVA RD if I'm deferred. I also will take the SATII Physics.</p>
