<p>I am an African American junior who lives in VA. I am really worried about my chances of getting into a university such as this one so I would appreciate the insight of students who have been accepted. Here are my stats:</p>

<li>No SATs at the moment (will be taking them June 3rd)</li>
<li>I Co-Founded a not-for profit organization called Teens 4 Peace, which encourages adolescents in promoting human rights in the internatioanal community</li>
<li>Under Teens 4 Peace I was able to help organize a huge rally in order to stop the genocide occuring in Darfur, Sudan. It was a huge success, mostly becuase it was organized in Washington D.C.'s popular Dupont Circle</li>
<li>I am a regular Volunteer at the Amnesty International Headquarts in DC</li>

<p>well ur GPA and ec's are defintely good your also a minority which helps esp. at UVA but I'd advise take your SATs and then think about it, cause a lot of people can't crack 650+ in Math and Verbal so just wait on that good luck</p>

<p>My African-American friend got into to UVA with SATs of 1520 (on the NEW scale), lower gpa and less quality ECs. I'd say OP will most likely get in.</p>

<p>Sudaneya4ever, don't worry obviously I had other things going for me besides my sat scores. I think you'll get in for sure though ;D.</p>

7

<p>I wouldn't worry about your SATs too much -- looks like you have everything going for you...even if you don't do well on your SATs.</p>

8

<p>What's your rank? Is the 3.7 unweighted? What's your SAT score?</p>

<p>My GPA is unweighted, my school does not rank, and my SAT II results are coming out may 31st and I am taking my SAT I on june 3rd for the first time</p>

10

<p>What is your best score so far?</p>
