<p>I am a student that is in-state and am a part of the Commonwealth Governor School. It is basically like IB, but in my opinion it has a bit more difficulty to it. I have a weighted gpa of 4.45 and am currently ranked 5th out of a class of 441. I have a numerous amount of extra currircular activites and summer activites. A lot of my ECs, volunteer activities, and summer camps relate to medicine because I ultimately want to be a doctor. I was a member of the 2010 VA Boys State, which is something that colleges like to see. My SAT, however, is the only thing thats drawing me back. I have a total score of 1810 with a 570 in reading and 640 in math. I know its absolutely horrible and I am definetly not proud of myself but it was the best I could do. I also heard UVa is one of the leading colleges in taking consideration of the full application and not just focus on the SAT score. </p>
<p>I am posting this because my level of concern became higher when I didn't get the "likely" letter that UVa sent out to some of the applicants. About 3 kids in my school got it. </p>
<p>Be completely honest with me, I don't want to have my hopes high when my application is actually weak. UVa is my top choice, but i already got into the scholars program at the University of Maryland and plan to go there if I don't get into UVa.</p>
