<p>Anyone mind giving me some feedback on my chances?</p>
<p>I was planning to apply to UVA early, but after getting my SAT scores back I decided to go ED at Princeton (while I understand that SAT scores are only part of the unfathomable equation, my jump was 260 points) since it’s always been my dream school… but I’m still definitely applying to UVA should I be deferred (which will most likely happen). Intended major is definitely either History or Government.</p>
<p>SAT- 2210 (800 Verbal, 610 Math, 800 Writing)</p>
<p>SAT IIs- 800 US History, 720 Bio M, 760 Lit, 780-800 World History (I’ll find out the 19th)</p>
<p>APs- 5s on Bio and US History (all my school offered), am taking World, Euro, US Gov’t, Micro and Macro, and Lit and Lang this year (World and US Gov’t will be self-studied).</p>
<p>GPA/Class Rank- 3.9 unweighted, 8/105</p>
<p>ECs- Student body president, founder and President of Junior State of America club, Sports Editor for school newspaper, four years of golf, distinguished in academic trivia</p>
<p>Recs- Pretty solid. I saw the one from my professor whom I had at Georgetown over the summer (he works at U of Minnesota-Duluth), and he basically said I’d be qualified to go to grad school right now.</p>
<p>Essays- Might not make an admission officer’s “greatest hits” file, but they’re quite good.</p>
<p>White and no alumni connections- at least I might fit the geographic diversity file, as I come from a rather depressed area of NYS.</p>
