<p>I think you have a good chance in making it to all those schools. William and Mary might be a little tougher to get into, but it isn’t that much of a reach. SAT scores are about right and the GPA is a match. Good luck !</p>
<p>Anyone else? Thanks in advance, and I’ll chance back.</p>
<p>Most of the private DC metro area schools have Naviance. If so, you can review your SAT or ACT vs GPA against the admissions records for your school over the last four years. You’ll have a much better idea of your chances using the Naviance graphs particularly for the VA schools.</p>
<p>You’re in a pretty good position, your CR score could be better for the schools that you’re applying to. If you are applying engineering for UVA, you will have a much better chance of being admitted. The # of APs seems a bit low for the schools you are applying to, but to be honest, I only think you will have trouble with UVA, W&M and WF.</p>
<p>Please chance me back!

<p>Additional Comments:
I attended The Overlake School from grades 7 to 11. This year I decided to participate in the Running Start Program through Bellevue College. I wanted to do this to get a head start on my college education and experience life outside of a sheltered private school. Learning in a more diverse learning environment has been extremely enriching as I now learn from my peers and their experiences rather than simply reading about other cultures. I will still graduate from The Overlake School, I just have taken all my senior year courses at BC.
