<p>I think test scores and GPA is great considering it’s one of the most competitive high schools in the state. Some good EC with wresting, but it’s nothing extraordinary.</p>

<p>Duke: low reach or high match
EVA: match
Vanderbilt: match
Sorry, don’t really know about the others</p>

<p>I think your background and work experience creates a vision of you as a person, not just statistics. Colleges like that. Duke you will probably get in, also because of pulling strings. </p>

<p>chance back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1655047-chance-me-for-ucs-stanford-columbia-nyu-brown-risd-etc.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1655047-chance-me-for-ucs-stanford-columbia-nyu-brown-risd-etc.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>What you call “normal” is…? Sorry I’m confused by your GPA…
How many B’s have you received?</p>

<p><a href=“How to Convert (Calculate) Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale – BigFuture”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools;
That’s what I mean by “normal”. </p>

<p>My school uses a 7 point scale with no pluses or minuses, so on that scale I have received 3 B’s. I put the “normal” scale in there because I’m not sure whether my gpa will be converted to the “normal” scale when colleges are looking at my application. Also, those 3 B’s I mentioned were above 90%, so on the “normal” scale they would be A-'s.</p>

<p>@chinaislife‌ what exactly do you mean by my background? Thanks for the chance.</p>

<p>Id say that you are in a good standing for a strong chance at all of these schools:
Duke: reach(hard to get into no matter who you are but your connection may help a bit)
UVA: high match
Vanderbilt: Match
UNC: low match
others seem like safeties which is good. Id say that you have a good chance at Duke, your top school, but if not UVA/UNC will be lucky to get you.

<p>If your aunt is really as ‘high up’ as you seem to suggest, you’re a sure bet at Duke. All elite schools make significant allowances for the relatives of their top administrators. </p>

<p>I’m not really familiar with the 7-point-scale, since my school system uses 4.5. But it looks like you’re off to a good start! And having an aunt in Duke doesn’t hurt either, lol.</p>

<p>Duke: low reach/high match
UVA: mid reach (only because I know girl who got in had like, 99% percentile SATs and APs, and killer ECs. But who knows)
Vanderbilt: mid reach (VU is becoming more lenient on minorities and harsher on whites now, I think)
UNC CH: high match. Try getting recruited if you do sports. It’s also easier for NC residents, so you’re in an advantageous spot.
GW: low match/safety
NCSU: low match/safety</p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>
