and other crap i dont feel like mentioning..</p>

<p>essays- readers had strong positive comments, so pretty good
recommendations- pretty solid</p>

<p>So basically, I want to know wat you ccers think of my chances. be honest, critical, concise, and if possible use %. thnx</p>

2

<p>You aren't out of the 75th percentile for SAT scores for any of the schools listed. So, it's hard to say that any of those are safeties.</p>

3

<p>oh and forgot to mention, i'm taking the most rigorous classes available to me. I'm a full IB diploma student with a total of 13 IB classes between 11-12 grade. and from 9-10, have taken 12 honors. i'm definantly challenging myself, which is part of the reason for my not so high/spectacular gpa. thnx ppl.</p>

4

<p>Even though Gospy is right, maden will be in favor of affirmative action.</p>

5

<p>Gospy- for vtech, jmu, and gmu, i fall well within the range of the 25th-75th sat percentile.</p>

6

<p>No, you don't, I checked.
You are close to the 25%, but that by no means makes it a safety.</p>

7

<p>sat wise, its not a safety, but considering other factors it should be. but then again, its admissions, whos to be sure about these things.</p>

8

<p>I'm gonna have to disagree with you.</p>

9

<p>for wat reasons?</p>

10

<p>yea also, rank is 54-356, around 14-15%.</p>

11

<p>shut the fruck up Gospy! Maden I belive you have a good chance at most those colleges except Georgetown and John Hopkins</p>

12

<p>Gospy is right though.</p>

13

<p>I'm not going to use percentages, but your SAT scores are low. That's probably the only concern on your apps.</p>

14

<p>perhaps. if vtech/jmu/gmu are not safeties, they'd have to be, compared to the other schools i'm applyin to. combined, their avg admit rate is 68%.</p>

<p>any1 else wanna comment? thnx</p>

15

<p>That's pretty misleading. The average admit rate at Michigan is around 60%, but the average SAT score is still just short of 1300.</p>

16

<p>well thats michigan</p>

17

<p>anyone, wanna predict chances?</p>

18

<p>if you are so sure already, why would you need chances maden?</p>

<p>hmm great rank....so i think that will help you alot</p>

<p>Georgetown (reach)
Johns Hopkins (reach)
American U (match/reach)
UVA (reach)
William&Mary (reach)
University of Richmond (reach)
Virginia tech (match/reach)
James Madison U (match)
George Mason U (match)</p>

<p>UVA's average GPA is 4.0 and their middle 50% SAT is around 1230-1430....so its definately not a match. seems like a reach if not even a huge reach to me...</p>

19

<p>I really don't see how JHU is a reach...</p>

20

<p>well according to jhu, they are very much in favor of AA but still he falls WAY short...</p>

<p>JHU</p>

<p>SAT: 1300 – 1490 (seems he is at least in the bottom 10%...don' forget athletics, national award winners and those people with parents that donate buildings...)</p>

<p>of course over 80% of the people are in top10% with stellar GPA....</p>

<p>shall I say more?</p>
