<p>anyone?..</p>

<p>hmm, how selective is your school?</p>

4

<p>my high school?
its a very competitive public school in massachusetts…</p>

<p>Of course you’ll get into Tulane, University of Richmond and the like. I’d say you have a good shot at Vanderbilt, BC, and UVA. UNC and Emory are toss-ups. Your scores and grades are good but I’m actually most impressed by the volunteer time at the soup kitchen and nursing home.</p>

<p>Don’t give too much weight to my opinions, I’m also just a junior.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>BC, Vanderbilt, and UVA will all be tough but none on your list seem impossible/ unreasonable. You can try taking ACT again, if you got one or two points higher you’d probably be able to get into most if not all of them. Will you need financial aid? That can make a difference to some of these schools.</p>

<p>Gee, you remind me of someone… :)</p>

<p>Chance (Accept/Denial of some sort)</p>

<p>University of Virginia 10/90
UNC Chapel Hill - 0/100
Vanderbilt - 80/20
Tulane - 90/10 (just admitted myself)
Lehigh - 75/25 (they LOVE GPA)
Villanova - 75/25
Wesleyan - 10/90
Boston College - 60/40
University of Richmond - 50/50
Emory - 70/30</p>

<p>What state do you live in? </p>

<p>UNC Chapel Hill only reserves 20% of its incoming class for Out-of-State Students. So if do not live in North Carolina, you can forget about it.</p>

<p>2 APs Junior year and 4 Senior year is not that tough lol. I’m doing 3 A.P classes junior year and 6 senior year.</p>
