[quote=Anonymous]I graduated in 2000 from a LCPS school.

My SAT is what got me in because my grades were just okay. My parents burnt me out by 10th grade with the all honors & AP courses, extra curricular classes, etc. I missed a lot of school, which hurt my grades. Looking back now, it was anxiety making me sick that was never caught by any doctors. I was properly diagnosed midway through my freshmen year at college and it changed my life.

Anyway, SAT 1580, ACT 36, GPA was only 3.0 or 3.1. I had 5s on every AP test I took, which I believe ended up being 6 or maybe 7.

Colleges: 
UVA - accepted (was considered my safety back then, ha!)
Penn - accepted
Columbia - accepted
Stanford - accepted
Brown - accepted
Yale - accepted & attended
Elon - accepted
Duke - waitlisted
W&M - rejected (this was the hardest school to get in as a VA resident during my time)

I didn't really have any normal HS extracurriculars. Mine were all academic based like tutoring. No instrument after MS, no HS sports teams, no club sports. I had some volunteer hours and two school clubs.

My only hook was that neither parent had attended college.
