The Usual

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello:</p>

<p>I am wondering my chances for the schools listed below.</p>

<p>SAT Score: 2090 (720 Math, 710 Writing, 660 Verbal)
SAT II Score: Writing: 760, 650 US History, 680 Math IC
AP score: 5 Macro Economics, 4 Micro Economics, 3 English, 3 US History
GPA: 3.4, 3.7 weighted at an incredibly (perhaps I ought to repeat the word incredibly) private high school in New Jersey where the college matriculations are excellent, not so much due to the school, but it is more a reflection of the students.</p>

<p>Senior Schedule: AP Government, AP Stat, AP Calc, Reg. English, among a history course</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
-2 year varsity tennis player
-jv cross-country
-varsity basketball
-100 + hrs of community service teaching kids tennis, among helping disabled people play sports
-Democrat's Club
-Adviser for Freshman
-Officer of Italian Club
-Honors Student </p>

<p>Colleges (I'm primarily interested in the south)</p>

<p>-Yale (legacy)
-North Carolina
-Virginia (legacy)
-Wake Forest
-Vanderbilt
-Emory
-U. of Georgia
-U. Richmond
-Georgetown
-GW
-any others?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Yale - HUGE reach
North Carolina (I'm assuming you mean UNC - Chapel Hill) - Big reach
Virginia - Big reach
Wake Forest - Slight Reach
Vanderbilt - Reach
Georgetown - Big Reach
GW - Match
U. of Georgia - Match
U. of Richmond - I don't know enough about it</p>

<p>Have you considered any of the following...</p>

<p>University of Maryland
University of Delaware
Bucknell
American
Furman</p>

<p>Hope this helps...</p>

<p>GW, Gerogia, Richmond Bucknell, American, Furman and the states other than UVA and UNC should be safe.</p>

<p>Yale, even as a legacy, would be hard to see.</p>

4

<p>Wake is only a very slight reach, and the only one you have VERY little chance at would be Yale, and to a slightly lesser degree UNC - CH, G-Town, and even less Vanderbilt. All the others look good though</p>

5

<p>If you go to an "incredibly private school" in NJ, what's up with your username?</p>

6

<p>My whole famlily is from Georgia.</p>

<p>Anyway, is Virginia still a reach even though I am a legacy? </p>

<p>I appreciate the help!</p>

7

<p>I wouldn't say Wake is much of a reach. I got in there with considerably lower SAT scores, albeit a better GPA.</p>

8

<p>any more comments?</p>

<p>...anyone?</p>
