2

<p>good chance, imo</p>

3

<p>I think it will be hard with a relatively low GPA and SATs. How much the boyscout stuff makes up for that - IDK. Just my opinion - Good luck!</p>

4

<p>GPA is top 10% and 1340 SAT is well within the middle 50%... I don't think it's fair to call those stats "relatively low", just IMO</p>

5

<p>Yes, I can see that, and see your point; but the middle 50 and below are usually accompanied by very good ECs. I guess I'm overweighting my personal experiences though.
You are correct and I apologize for my original analysis. I forgot the whole in state thing too =/</p>

<p>The Boy Scouts definitely shows commitment! Its not a shoo-in, but you definitely have a good shot!</p>

<p>Thanks for the comments soccerguy and Here<em>to</em>Help!</p>

<p>No worries Here<em>to</em>Help, I am a little concerned about my GPA as well. However, there isn't much I can do now but wait and avoid senoritis... so my anxiety is fading.</p>

Haha, always a good thing to do! =D
And those AP credits can be REALLY helpful!</p>

8

<p>Very likely in. Being a guy helps, too.</p>

9

<p>AND an Eagle Scout!</p>

<p>Sheesh!</p>

<p>If you don't get in, I'm gonna complain to my governor!</p>

<p>Good luck~</p>

10

<p>Pedsox</p>

11

<p>Thanks for the replies everyone!</p>

<p>Caltech - yea, I read that guys have a higher acceptance rate for some reason.</p>

<p>Linda - haha thanks... I'll let you know if I get denied :P</p>

<p>pedsox - thanks</p>

12

<p>are you applying?</p>

13

<p>UVA (my #1)
CNU/VCU (Backup)</p>

14

<p>My MY report transcript put me at 17/315 for rank... so top 5.4% now.</p>

15

<p>Just got my rejection letter today........</p>

16

<p>I am so sorry and BAFFLED. I understand why my D was rejected, but your qualifications are stellar.</p>

<p>Let us know what other schools you hear from. </p>

<p>And, let me say this -- they may have felt you would have happier elsewhere -- </p>

<p>Still, hard to believe.</p>

<p>Take care</p>

<p>Linda</p>

17

<p>Thanks for the kinds words.</p>

<p>I'm a little confused as well, a wait list letter would have been more understandable... considering I know people with lower stats than me that got in.</p>

<p>I did get into VCU (half-ride) and CNU (honors)... but I don't feel they are where I belong. Not very optimistic about UVA at this point though.</p>

<p>I really wish I had done more research into University of Richmond's financial aid before deciding not to apply because of the ridiculous tuition.</p>

<p>Oh well, nothing I can do now... will have to try to transfer in a couple years if I am forced to go to one of my backup schools.</p>

18

<p>that is ridiculous, I don't understand how you didn't get in...sorry man.</p>

19

<p>I have followed this thread for quite sometime and I am sorry you didnt make W&M. Don't worry too much. VCU is a good school. Plus you will do well wherever you go.</p>

20

<p>I have high hopes for you at UVA… of course I had high hopes for you at W&M too. Do your best wherever you end up. You can transfer, or you might love it where you go. Best of luck.</p>
