<p>Hey I was wondering if my scores were too low for UVA...I am thinking of applying to McIntire.</p>
<p>SAT I: 2010 (610CR 750M 650W)
SAT II: Chem 800 Phys 800 MathIIC 800</p>
<p>GPA: 3.7UW out of 4.0.</p>
<p>Do you think I still have some chance being that my SAT I is low?</p>
<p>Do colleges see SATII as the same weighting or lower/higher than the SATI? </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Your scores are do-able but getting in is about more that just numbers.</p>
<p>You are in the ballgame, but apply to many other schools. Put effort into the essays.</p>
<p>I feel if you are interested you should apply, I’m not into predictions. For the sake of the rest of my post, let’s assume you receive an offer…</p>
<p>The McIntire School of Commerce is unique to some other programs in that you will not apply until your second year. It is a two year program for your third and forth years, as opposed to applying as a hs Sr. and starting directly into their business school as a first year student. It is a risk that you may not be accepted into McIntire. Your first two years you are taking pre-req’s that must be completed prior to entrance. The percentage of students accepted may seem high at 61% (2012 current UVa students), however these are students that have already been accepted to UVa, so have gone through one weeding process, and from there, there is a certain amount of self-selection. Students that know they aren’t competitive tend not to go through the trouble of the application process. So you should assume it is 61% of a competitive group of students.</p>
<p>McIntire is a great program and I am not trying to discourage you in the least. You just need to understand the odds going in and weigh this against any other offers you may have to enter a business program as a first year student. You need to consider if you would be happy attending UVa and choosing another major if you were not selected for McIntire, economics for example. That answer is going to be different for different students, but it’s one you need to explore when considering McIntire.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>Thank you everyone for your response!!</p>
