<p>Legacy at 3? Unless it is your parents, I don’t think legacy counts for that much. I’d say solid chances at all but Duke, which I’d place as a reach for you. It seems that you want to go into architecture, and if you want to look outside of the South, UIllinois and USC both have great architecture programs, and I think you’d have a good chance at both.</p>

<p>My Mom went to UNC. and my Dad went to NCSU for undergrad and Duke for grad school.</p>

<p>bumppppppppppppp</p>

<p>UVA: match, good luck! hopefully we both get in! :slight_smile:
Virginia Tech: 100% in, this is practically a safety for you. i’m not sure about the competitiveness of the architecture program but with your stats, i’m sure you’re in.</p>

<p>Not too familiar with the other 3 schools, but legacy-wise and statistically, you look like a good candidate for all the choices on your list. Best of luck to you!</p>

6

<p>my school updated rankings and i’m now 12th (if that makes a difference), which now puts me in the top 2%</p>

7

<p>I think you are in great standing fro all those schools. Legacy is always nice :). I’d say the toughest would be UVA and Duke, but with a 2200, you will definitely be a REALLY likely candidate</p>

8

<p>I wish I had Stats like most people on here… I think you are a match for all except Duke where you still have a good chance.</p>

9

<p>You should get in to all. I’m not too familiar with Virginia Tech, but your stats are great.</p>

10

<p>I’d say you’re a definite for VTech and NCSU, a match for UVA and a low reach for Duke if you boosted your SATs up</p>

11

<p>good chance at all except duke…you need to make sure you bring up GPA and SAT to even be competitive for that school…so far you are not even a low reach range for duke…perhaps after you retake the SAT’s…on a brighter note, the other schools are pretty much a def in</p>
