<p>Sats are really low even for instate although your in an intensive IB program so your gpa is good. Your also a girl from nova so... I'd say average chance (30%) maybe a little lower.</p>

<p>I think you have an ok chance... your SAT is hurting your application, which I'm sure you know. I believe it will put you below the 25th percentile at both UVA and W&M. The rest of your application looks solid, but nothing spectacular (well, FBLA might put you over the hump)</p>

<p>I went to HS in northern va and my school kept records of college results, with GPA and SAT and number of IB classes... does your school have something like that? That would be the best help to show where you stand.</p>

<p>as an aside, I don't see why you couldn't take 20th century topics and test IB SL history.</p>

<p>My school does have "Scattergrams" and admissions data available on Blackboard, but it doesn't state who are minorities or athletes, so it is still somewhat difficult to predict my chances.</p>

<p>bummpity bump?</p>

<p>bumpalump??</p>

7

<p>I pretty much agree with miktau.</p>

8

<p>Okay.. :(</p>

<p>This is sad. but at least you guys are being honest so I will be ready!</p>

<p>There is ALWAYS hope!<br>
Just keep in mind that you're in good company if you don't get in. Of the 12000+ applicants this year, only about 3000 will receive acceptance letters.
Good luck!</p>
