<p>Hey all. I am looking down south for college but my high school has no admission history for any of the colleges I am interested in so hopefully you guys can help. </p>
<p>I am from Massachusetts, and my public school had the highest average SATs of any school in the state. My school has been ranked in the Top 100 nationally. I am in the top half of my class. </p>
<p>My UW gpa is 3.2 and weighted is 3.5. I have received straight B's in mostly accelerated classes (in between AP and college prep). I will have taken 5 honors classes (weighted as an AP but not officially an AP) and 2 AP classes. </p>
<p>1330 SAT's (out of 1600)</p>
<p>I am involved with my church, have two presidential community service awards, numerous varsity letters, an internship with a major financial company, and a house painting job.</p>
<p>I am going to apply early decision to Sewanee-The University of The South. Other schools I am considering in the south are Centre, Furman, and Wofford.</p>
<p>If anyone could let me know what you think my admissions chances to these schools namely Sewanee that would great! </p>
<p>Also-students like me from my school typically are accepted to Gettysburg, F&M, Fairfield, etc</p>
<p>self selective usually means that only kids that think they have a good chance either academically or financially apply. Usually because the school has a reputation to accept only certain kinds of students so students dont waste their time by applying</p>
<p>I am a Sewanee student. Your chances at admission are greatly boosted merely because you are not from the south yourself. I’d say you will likely get into all of these schools. If you have any questions about Sewanee, just ask me.</p>
<p>hudman122 - Could you describe your Sewanee experience? Did you come from a big city / big high school? We visited, and I thought it was a beautiful campus and the tour guides did a great job and were very enthusiastic about the school - but that was expected.</p>
