[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's your strategy OP:

MANDATORY: go test optional.  UGA, UNC, UF don't want that 28 pulling down their mean.  Same for Vandy, Duke.

Play up the Congressional internship and service and Eagle Scout and service and more service.  If you are indigenous/Central American, play that up.  (If you are from Buenos Aires and wealthy, do not play that up.)

Every single school is on the table with a Hispanic Eagle Scout and a 4.0W.  [b]Especially Duke and Vanderbilt.

Georgia is a little toughe[/b]r because that 4.0w is not killer. Same for UF and UT-Austin.  Florida and Texas will have a lot of Hispanic kids with 4.5W.  [/quote]

It'd be tougher to get into Georgia OOS than Duke or Vanderbilt?  Really? [/quote]

Yes because all Georgia cares about these days is actual stats.  GPA and SAT/ACT.   Your ECs aren't "stats" and the giant state schools don't have time to ponder 40,000 letters of recommendation from the scout leader.

DC was deferred EA OOS from UGA with far better stats than OP and was admitted to a top 10 private school ED -- with killer ECs.  [/quote]
