I've taken the hardest curriculum offered here. This is a small town, though, and we don't have many AP courses (or clubs...I'm in most of them, lol ^_^)
I know my SAT math score reeks to the high-heavens, but it's too late to re-take. I should've studied for the SATs, but I didn't, so this is the price I pay. Ah, well, whatever, I suck at math and read too much :D Lol, and that SAT II Spanish score... heh, I took it for fun and didn't understand half of the test, so I'm surprised that I even got over 400 on it. :D We don't have AP Spanish here, so I wasn't well prepared for it at all. Yay for BSing!
I wrote some really great essays to UVA that I also recycled for W&M (I'm not worried about VCU, except for their art program), so I hope that they'll appreciate my unique and colorful writing style. I also sent out Art supplements and am applying for Comparative Lit. and media studies at UVA and some other art-related majors at W&M.

Lol, that was waaaaaay too long. ^_^ It's just that waiting until April is... so painful. I think it's causing my liver to fail...the room is spinning.... I see the light!!!!!!
j/k :P
If you actually read all that crap ^, then you, sir, are a saint.

In response to the first three reviews:
Oh...well those ECs just look like alot... they really aren't that much. And yeah, I could've done better in school if I had had more time to study, but what with what little time I did have, I didn't do too badly.
I am really passionate about my art and my colorguard team, though, and I wrote great essays about each. ^_^ Those are the two activities that have really consumed my time. The others are just passing fancies that I like to dabble in and that I felt compelled to join. My volunteering actually is rather lacking, which is why I didn't even bother to put my hours... I'm lazy.

I'd say your in at W&M and Richmond. Your SAT Verbal is really good, and you GPA/ Extracurriculars rock. You have a great chance at UVA as well.
My SAT's aren't that great (1340/1600) but most schools agree that Rigor/GPA is more important than standardized test scores

My guess is probably the University of Richmond, probably not on the others. One thing that stands out is that you have overdone the extracurriculars. Nobody could possibly have been really active in this many activities, and while every school wants extracurriculars, those never compensate for grades or scores. I have to wonder how much better you might have done in the classroom if you had limited yourself to just a few of these things.

You look like you were so focused on being in EVERY extra-curricular that you weren't very passionate about any of them. I'm sure you could get into all of those schools but the overabundance of EC's might hurt you. Good luck
