PreLives43,

I think your SAT and SAT II scores are fine, so don’t bother taking the ACT. Concentrate more on your APs and other demanding courses as well as your extracurriculars. As far as legacies go, it does not hurt to have your grandfather write a letter.

As of now, I believe you have a very strong chance, out of state admissions for large, public schools like UNC-Chapel Hill, UVA, and the UCs (Los Angeles and Berkeley) are very random, so no one could really tell you if you’re going to be accepted or waitlisted or straight out denied.

I had friends in high school with 4.9 GPA (8 APs, dual enrollment, online courses) and 31 ACT/ 1430 SAT who were wait-listed for ED and then accepted after RDs came out in April.

Best of luck man
