<p>I’m applying for precommerce from NJ. I go to a public magnet school. All courses are considered honors college level, but no APs. School doesn’t rank.</p>

<p>Frosh UW GPA 92.75</p>

<p>Soph UW GPA 94.6</p>

<p>Junior UW GPA 95.75</p>

<p>Senior UW GPA so far 95.25</p>

<p>SAT 730 Math, 740 Verbal, 690 Writing</p>

<p>SAT II 770 US History, 710 Math II</p>

<p>Extra cirriculars
-newspaper sports editor, a few small awards for articles I’ve written, chosen and attended a conference in Atlanta for newspaper as well
-math club president and team captain
-multicultural club event manager for our yearly festival
-NHS member
-Tutor homeless kids 3 hours a week
-Worked full time 2 summers for the US Army in a business management office </p>

<p>Won a few awards for newspaper articles I wrote, and also won a competitive bodyboarding contest (kind of different I guess so I put it down).
Only other small bonus I guess is that my counselor had a son that went to UVA and she has really been pushing me on it saying she’d write me a great letter of rec. So do you guys think I have a good shot?</p>

<p>sure why not. youve got the grades, scores, etc. ECs are not bad. it will prolly come down to how many ppl from NJ apply…i know that a lot of people from the east coast apply, moreso than midwest/west coast/southwest america. if it comes down to a regional question, you will get in through good essays. if you are a newpaper editor, that shouldnt be a problem. you got a pretty good shot.</p>
