Honestly: What are my chances of admissions?
I’m currently a senior, and I need to start weighing my odds at getting into certain schools. I’ll compile a short, but detailed list of my high school career so far, and please let me know what you think. I’m currently looking at the University of Richmond, UVA, UNC Chapel Hill, Boston College, Lehigh University, and comparable Universities. My intended major is in business. I live in PA.

I have strong letters of recommendations from both internships and a school teacher who oversaw me during my the Get Real Program.
Additionally, I was recruited to work at a bank. I accepted the offer and will start in December. I am still doing all the other extracurriculars above, save the internship at the local chamber of commerce and debate club, but add coaching in a soccer league as opposed to assistant coaching.
So what do you think? Do I stand a chance at being accepted into these colleges? Thanks!
I have over a 4.0 weighted, and a 3.75 unweighted and rank in the top 15% of my class.
Looking very competitive for these scools. Other comparable ones to apply to are Holy Cross and Bucknell.
good!
You will get accepted to all of those schools even though they’re prestige. The only question is what kind of scholarships they offer.
We created a tool to help you understand how you stack up with other students that apply there: http://www.acceptly.com/chances
Just enter your test scores & GPA to get an idea where you stand. There are certainly a bunch of other intangible factors though too, so keep that in mind.
