In-state chances at UVA, W&M. will chance back

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey everyone,
I'm currently a freshman at a small, liberal arts college in New York City. It's a good school, but the curriculum is very broad, and I'm interested in earning a degree in philosophy (something my current school doesn't offer). I'm a Virginia resident, so by applying to state schools I'm hoping to possibly boost my chances (and save a couple grand in the process).</p>

<p>I'm looking at UVA (solid philosophy department and has a great professor of philosophy of religion, which I want to focus on) and William and Mary. Do you think I have a shot?</p>

<p>Here's my stats:</p>

<p>College
GPA: 3.88/4.0
Probably top 10%</p>

<p>High School
GPA: 4.0 (unweighted), 4.2 (weighted)
SAT: 700 CR, 600 M, 720 W (1300/1600, 2020/2400)
AP: U.S. History-4, English Lang.-5 (My high school didn't offer many AP courses)
4 Dual credit courses, all with 4.0 GPA
Student Body President
2 years as a class representative
Top 5%
100ish hours of community service
8 school plays</p>

<p>Thanks fellas
Oh, and I'll chance back!</p>

<p>You have a great chance at both. UVA might be a high reach, but I heard they’re more lenient with in-state applicants, so you seem to have a great chance. You have awesome extracurriculars so I’d say that you could definitely get into both!</p>

<p>CHANCE ME BACK!</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m hoping my college GPA makes up for the average SAT scores.</p>

<p>Brilliant chances at W&M, but since you’re transfer, UVA shouldn’t be too big of a deal :)</p>
