<p>W&M and UVA, in my opinion, are high match/low reach because of your EC’s.</p>

<p>You are in at George Mason as well. Sadly, I know nothing about the other colleges you mentioned so I will leave those out =)</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance at W&M and UVA- high match. I’m jealous of your in-state status haha. I know that W&M likes to see calculus, but you’ve taken other tough classes so I don’t think that’s too big of a deal.</p>

<p>Richmond is a match as well! W&L is really competitive- that’s probably your most reach-y school.</p>

4

<p>All of the other colleges, including William and Mary, you will be fine at. UVa is the only one that might be a bit close…</p>

<p>Your SAT is slightly below their average, but you have really good EC’s and an exceptional GPA/class rank. Honestly I could see that going either way. Good luck though!</p>

5

<p>W & L: high match
W & M: high match
George Mason: safety-low match
UVA: reach</p>

6

<p>Damn man, I wish I had your critical reading score. It’s stellar.</p>

<p>thank you sir!</p>

<p>Your CR score is great, though your math and writing scores are a bit low for these schools. Your ECs really redeem you though and I think they’ll increase your chances a lot!</p>

11

<p>50/50 at W&M due to weak math and science curriculum, avg SAT scores, and the sad fact that women have to be a little better than men at W&M. UVA & W&L = low match (50 to 66%) due to wonderful ECs. Richmond = match (66 to 90%). GM = safety, but no idea criteria for their honors program.</p>

12

<p>impressive sat cr in particular, and your range of ECs is staggering in breadth, but not quite so much in depth. i’d put all your schools as high match for you, low match is you improve the maths and writing sats. please chance me :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1410059-chance-me-ivies-ill-chance-back-new-post.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1410059-chance-me-ivies-ill-chance-back-new-post.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Bumpppp 10 char</p>

<p>UVA is probably a reach. W&M, Richmond, and W&L are probably matches, W&M being the high match leaning towards reach. You’re in a GMU. You have great ECs and I wish I could have you’re CR SAT score. If the SAT was a little higher you’d have a really good shot at UVA being in state.</p>
