What are my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Okay well I'm currently a junior and I want to know what my chances are of college choices so far. My picks: UVA, Virginia Tech, George Mason, Virginia Commonwealth University, James Madison University, William and Mary, and University of Maryland-Baltimore. </p>

<p>My sophomore year I goofed around and did not do well in my classes, which i regret very much now, however I am enrolled in Commonwealth Governor's school and as a freshman took 1 AP class, and as a sophomore took 2 APs. I came out of sophomore year with a 2.7 GPA. </p>

<p>As a Junior I'm taking AP Psychology, AP US History, AP Language, and DE Chemistry, and Math analysis. My grades currently are all around the A-C range. I have plenty of extra curriculars I've been doing and competing at the state level, including recently placing 3rd at State Debates. I'm also a state competitor in track, and a varsity athlete for both football and track. </p>

<p>I'm hoping that my SAT scores will be high enough to balance out my GPA and my aim is around 2200 so I'd like to know what else I might need to do in order to get into UVA/Tech/etc.</p>

<p>sorry but a high SAT will not balance out a low GPA. I have a friend with a 2240 SAT and a 3.4 GPA who applied to instate schools. The higher end schools (W&M, UVA, VTech) denied/waitlisted him. He was also waitlisted by JMU, the rest of the schools (GMU, ODU, VCU) took him in. This friend of mine also had a much more rigorous courseload than you, he took 4 APs his Junior year including Calculus BC, took multivariable calculus and AP Statistics senior year, took AP Chem as a sophomore, and also did a research project his senior year for which he recieved some accolades.</p>
