instate chances ED?

[cheer88]

<p>I'm a Caucasian female living in Southwest VA..</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.70
SAT: (first try)
CR: 580
W: 620
M: 690
= 1890/2400 or 1260/1600</p>

<p>SAT: (second try)
CR:640
W:610
M:720
=1970/2400 or 1313/1600</p>

<p>My school has a stricter grading scale than most, with the 94-100 range being an A, 93-87 being a B, and so on. Supposedly colleges know this. UVa seems to think highly of my school. This year, 8 got in ED and about 6 got in RD. For my upcoming senior year, I will be taking AP French, AP Calculus, AP Chem, AP English, and Dual Gov't (all of the APs offered). I also will be taking regular Physics and will be in my second year of Latin. </p>

<p>My ECs are decent. Key Club Secretary, Beta Club Secretary, French Club President, National French Honor Society, Magna Cum Laude on Nat'l Latin Exam, Senior Class Rep, 3 years of Varsity Cheerleading and Lacrosse, about 100 volunteer hours, as well as various other clubs (Science Club, German Club, etc).</p>

<p>I am in the top 10% of my class, and my rank is 10/~200. I defiantly plan to apply ED and then RD if I get deferred. What do you all think my chances are? Do you think I should take the SATs one more time to try to break 2000?</p>

<p>Your chances look pretty good, cheer. I live in northern VA, and at my school, those stats would be very competitive for UVA. I'd give you a 95+% shot...1360 SAT and top 5% would just about be an ********* from my school. Don't worry about the GPA - everything is relative, and class rank is an indication of how the grading scale works. The 94-100 grading scale isn't that unusual, btw; my school uses it too.</p>
