your SAT is low, sorry to say, which is kind of the opposite of what you were driving at, your classes arent as challenging as you expect</p>
<p>virginia is an ivy league out of state</p>
<p>its a reach</p>
<p>I don't think a 2000 SAT is low in general. </p>
<p>a 2000 is a kick ass score, just not kick ass enough for "more selective+" colleges</p>
<p>meaning BC and BU would be high matches/slight reaches</p>
<p>2000 will not cut it at virginia, I say minimum 2100+ for looking at schools like UVA, and 2200 for schools like UNC</p>
<p>apply ED to one of the bostons, do a generic business major, and I see no reason why you shouldn't get in. Chaudoninker89: look at the selection of his schools, look that he wants to go boston. If he does a generic, "CAS" level business with a 2000+, he shouldn't have much of a problem. you are being waay to harsh.</p>
<p>but I do agree, UVA is a reach.</p>
<p>and his classes are fine. you need to realize that even though millions of kids have high grades etc. the majority do not. his grades are average, and 6 APS are sure as hell good enough, so stop your ********.</p>
<p>what state do you live in?</p>
<p>i live in ct, also, my school uses an online system to show what schools the current seniors have been accepted to so far, based on gpa and sat, and according to the graphs they provide i think i have a very good chance at BU, but BC is still a reach. As far as uva and unc are concerned, I didnt really know much about the schools in terms of acceptance, so thanks for the help</p>

<p>regardless of how low my sat score is, the point i was making is that there are people in my grade that have a higher GPA than me, because they took easier classes and got an A, but did more poorly on the sat than me, and the point i was driving at was the question i had asked previously, about whether or not i made the right decision in taking the hardest classes possible and getting B's, or going for a mixture and getting As. that was my point.</p>
<p>also i dont need you to judge the difficulty of my classes, the reason for this thread was to question whether or not colleges can differentiate between high school difficulty, not for you to speculate, and almost getting a D in chemistry with a tutor and several hours of studying every night, culminating in a 700 on the SAT II, shows you how hard my classes can be.</p>
<p>I think I know what town you are from!!:(!!:eek:!!!!!:)!!!!!!!!!!!:)!!!!:rolleyes:!!!!!!!!1111</p>
<p>still need advice?</p>
<p>:confused:</p>
<p>Studying several hours a night plus a tutor should get you closer to an 800 than a 700. Perhaps it's you, not the school, that is to blame...</p>
<p>Perhaps Indeed!</p>
<p>Tutor!....</p>
<p>i'm not sure about much, but i do know that my public high school is ridiculously competitive and thus doesn't send out class rank anymore unless you're in the top 5% because it only ended up hurting people even if they were doing really well. i suppose that rule came about because colleges didn't look at the difference.</p>
<p>sorry, that shouldn't have been two sentences. anyway..good luck! haha</p>
<p>Best thing to do is to get yourself the 10 Real SAT's book
The tutor is only necessary if you can't push yourself to work on it on your own.</p>
<p>...yeah...</p>
<p>The school counselor is asked on the applications if the student has taken the hardest course load available or at least to rate the difficulty of the course load. I believe this is important to the more selective colleges. Having said that, I believe you have little chance of getting into UVA or UNC. Good luck. You'll get into somewhere awesome.</p>
