I’m currently a senior, and I need to start weighing my odds at getting into certain schools. I’ll compile a short, but detailed list of my high school career so far, and please let me know what you think. I’m currently looking at the University of Richmond, UVA, UNC Chapel Hill, Boston College, Lehigh University, and comparable Universities. My intended major is in business.

Currently have a 29 ACT score, 1980 SAT score, and a 730 US History SAT II and 5 on the AP US History exam.

I have strong letters of recommendations from both internships and a school teacher who oversaw me during my the Get Real Program.

Additionally, I was recruited to work at a bank. I accepted the offer and will start in December. I am still doing all the other extracurriculars above, save the internship at the local chamber of commerce and debate club, but add coaching in a soccer league as opposed to assistant coaching.

So what do you think? Do I stand a chance at being accepted into these colleges? Thanks!

I have over a 4.0 weighted, and a 3.75 unweighted and rank in the top 15% of my class.
