<p>Crap shoot. Your SATs aren't as high as the OOS population you'll be compared to.</p>

3

<p>Did you take as many AP classes as you could? Maybe that's why your class rank is a little low and this could be a deal-breaker. If you are OOS, I'd say no, unfortunately.</p>

<p>SATs dont matter... and dont let anyone tell you that they do. your GPA is great, and thats all UVA looks at. you're fine</p>

5

<p>SATs do matter. If they didn't, then they would not be required. Your SAT score is quite low for OOS and I'm assuming the GPA you've provided is a weighted GPA. Right now, your leaning quite heavily on the legacy crutch. If you were not a legacy, your chances of getting in would be quite slim. What's your unweighted GPA?</p>

6

<p>I'd say it's looking tough as your stats and class rank are lower than you'd want them to be.</p>

7

<p>SATs definitely matter. They can't get you in to UVa, but they can keep you out.</p>
