[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In-state VA, medium size diverse public HS, weighted GPA 4.56, SAT 1510. Girl. Captain of varsity sport, 10 APs, AP scholar. Other random clubs. Intended major is undecided but possibly Bio (pre med) or Data Science or Finance.

ED: UVA
Rolling (but applying early): Pitt
EA: UNC, PSU, VT
Regular: W&M, Delaware

What would you add (or drop) to/from this list? Thoughts?

I think your chances of getting in through ED are pretty high. However, just in case you don’t, I would recommend adding BU (Boston University) to your RD list.

BU is an excellent school for pre-med, and you can’t go wrong with Data Science or Finance either. Some students even double major in Questrom and Data Science.

The sticker price is high, but you never know what kind of financial aid package you might receive. They were pretty generous with us, even though we’re a full-tuition-paying family for in-state(Virginia) schools.

Be sure to apply for merit scholarships as well. If you get a full tuition scholarship (which is very competitive), or even a half-tuition award, it would be comparable to W&M’s tuition. 
Also, if you receive a strong tuition package, it will be locked in for four years even if your family income increases.

Terrible suggestion.  Where do you people come up with these ideas?  There's never any critical thinking involved.[/quote]
