<p>ooh forgot to mention: i want to major in architecture</p>

<p>You have certainly done well! I’m not familiar with UVA if you’re in state, but I would think you’d have an excellent chance there.</p>

<p>While you have a chance at the others, please do add solid match and safety schools to your list. Your rank and scores will not put you at the top of their applicant polos and there is a significant chance you may not get into one.</p>

<p>No offense, but I don’t really understand the logic of somebody with your stats asking to be chanced. You have pretty much top in everything, and when it all comes down to it, the top schools at which you are looking almost choose randomly from the thousands of perfect applications. Just apply wherever you want.</p>

5

<p>in at uva, everything else is a crapshoot, but youve given yourself a good chance to play with filled dice… you should get into, just by chance, ONE of those other schools but who knows, its all random at the highest levels unless you can really, really, really make yourself stand out</p>

<p>In everywhere. Your actual ECs are kinda dull with no LD but you have tons of awards and I’m assuming you won’t scribble all over your essay.</p>
