<p>I'm a senior with a 3.29 weighted and around a 3.1 or 3.05 unweighted gpa.

Decent amount of ECs, 2 years varsity soccer(9th+10th grade), one year varsity indoor track(11th grade), not sure what I'll do this year + other volunteering/club stuff</p>

<p>Planning on majoring in International Studies & Poli Sci plus minor in Arabic/Middle Eastern studies</p>

<p>My fits are:
McDaniel
University of Mary Washington
George Mason</p>

<p>Reaches are:
James Madison University
University of Virginia
University of Richmond (might take this out, I need opinions??)
Virginia Tech(might take this out too?)</p>

<p>Safety:
Old Dominion</p>

<p>Please let me know if my list needs to be changed or not and especially if my fits and safety are good.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>bump??</p>

<p>i would say the reaches are just that….Reaches. Other than that your fits seem perfect.</p>

<p>Thank you! I’m hoping for the best but expecting the worse for my reaches :)</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>I think U of R and UVA are both out of reach. </p>

<p>UVA and URichmond are out of reach, and so is Virginia Tech with M500.
I’d replace them with American University.</p>

<p>Have you run the Net Price Calculators? If so, what do your parents say about costs, are these within budget?</p>

<p>Check out VCU perhaps, or Christopher Newport.
Try to have two safeties so that, if push comes to shove, you have a choice in the Spring.</p>

<p>I loved URichmond when I went on the tour but I guess you guys are right, I have to be realistic with my chances and I don’t want to have too many out of reach schools. The one thing that convinced me to keep URichmond is the fact that it meets full need. I will think about what to do with that and VTech(I’ll probably take out vtech, its arabic program is still in development). I think I’m going to keep UVA though only because I think it’s worth a shot. </p>

<p>@MYOS1634‌ All net price calculators I’ve run have come in under 20k or a bit above, which is within budget. That’s why almost all my colleges are in state. McDaniel’s(which is in MD) net price calculator results were 14k. </p>

<p>Sure, you can keep UVA as a “what if?” shot :slight_smile: Nothing wrong with that as long as a rejection doesn’t sour you on all your (likely) acceptances :)</p>

<p>Between URichmond and VTech, I’d say based on what you aid earlier, that URichmond is a better fit for your interests and academic strengths.</p>
