Chance a Black Dude At UVA!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a junior. Black, male, first-gen status. I also reside in VA. I had some issues as a freshman so I'm a bit worried about the application process. So I need some expert advice on my chances.
Freshman Year: 2.75 GPA, 2 Unweighted Honors Courses.
Sophomore Year: 3.57 GPA, 2 Unweighted Honors Courses.
Junior Year(Current): Business/Finance A, Spanish 3 B+, Physics Honors A. AP Macroeconomics B, AP Microeconomics A, AP English Language B+, PreCalculus Honors B+, US VA History A
Unweighted GPA:3.714 Weighted GPA:3.857 My school doesn't weight honors.
So my cumulative GPA is going to be low because of freshman year: 3.3
However my school does not rank its students.</p>

<p>EC's: National Business Honor Society, Future Business Leaders of America (Vice President), Science Honor Society, Freshman Basketball (Captain), JV Basketball (Co-Captain), Winter Varsity Track & Field, Spring Varsity Track & Field, DECA, Junior Math Team, Senior Math Team, AAU Basketball, Travel Soccer. Teach Kindergarten Sunday School every week. Volunteer at local library. I will probably gain more leadership positions as a Senior.
I have excellent recs, from the hardest teachers at my school. My essay will be above average explaining freshman year troubles.</p>

<p>SAT's: 2100, I still have to take Math Level 2, Physics, and maybe Literature.
I will probably Major in Business Administration/Management while minoring in Government.
Schools I plan on Applying to: UVA, UPenn, VTech, James Madison, William & Mary, Boston U, Northeastern, Cornell, Boston College, Fordham.</p>

<p>Even if you don't have weighted honors, a 3.3 GPA probably won't cut it at UPenn or Cornell.</p>

<p>UVA and BC are big pretty schools that are quite competitive, but your EC's are extremely good and if you can come through with your essays I think you stand a chance. A 2100 is a decent score. SAT II's are extremely important, if you have some success on those you might be able to rub away some doubts about your GPA.</p>

<p>I think you have an above-average chance at the other schools.</p>
