<p>Thanks for taking the time to look at this! I'll try to help with any questions you have. I'll give you the short version here.</p>

<p>This is my list of schools so far:
Emory
Virginia
Michigan
Middlebury
Wash.U (legacy)</p>

<p>I will definitely be applying to one early decision, but I haven't chosen yet. I am a white, Jewish female from the Mid-Atlantic region. </p>

<p>SAT:
reading- 700
math- 670
writing- 730</p>

<p>ACT: 31 (composite)
reading- 35
math- 29
science- 28
writing- 31</p>

<p>APs:
English lit- 4
English lang- 4</p>

<p>GPA: around 3.8, although my school does not calculate GPA. We do not have AP classes either, but I take many advanced courses.</p>

<p>In school activities:
student council secretary (12th)

-Counselor's Assistant at a sleepaway camp

<p>My essay is about my trip to Poland and how seeing the destruction of a Jewish community affected my view of my role in the Jewish community today. </p>

<p>Thanks for any insight you may have!</p>

<p>If you can, try ED-ing WashU. A person in my school has similar stats and he got in without legacy.</p>

<p>You’re a fairly strong applicant. Your extracurriculars are decent and your GPA is good but your test scores only put you in the 30th percentile at WashU.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, your SAT/ACT and AP scores sort of contradict each other.</p>
