Hello! My school does alright with UVA, not great, so I don’t have many stats on it.
My school weights GPAs differently than other schools (I see people here with 4.8s and stuff but the highest in my school is a 4.4 I believe). I applied regular decision.

Here are my stats:

GPA: 3.95/4 (probably around a 3.7 unweighted, if that helps)
ACT: 31 (32 superscored)
Class Rank: N/A but at least in top 25% at a highly competitive school
Taken 3 APs in High school (APs only available as a junior and senior)

Sports: Varsity Gymnastics 4 years
ECs: volunteer tutor at the library, founder of a service project, cook meals for a local elderly home once a month, National Honors Society, National Latin Honors Society, coach at a gymnastics clinic
Volunteer Work: volunteer at a local elderly home every month, volunteer tutor twice a week
Summer Activities: worked as a hostess at a local restaurant

OOS (from New Jersey)
White female
No hooks
No legacy

Essays: Very happy with them, shows my personality

Recs: One is stellar, one is also very good, & I am not that close to my GC but his rec got my sister into UMich

You have a good chance, but OOS is always hard for UVa. Good luck!

Hm, sorry to say but it will be very hard for you get into UVA. If you apply OOS to UVA, your stats have to be AMAZING and everything else has to be stellar. For example, you need to have at least a 34 on the ACT, top 5-10% of your class, etc. You also don’t have much leadership in your EC’s.

But don’t feel down. When an OOS student applies to UVA, the students are pretty much applying to an ivy; UVA is very selective. So you’re not alone. I believe that this school will be a reach for you.

But honestly, prove me wrong!! I would be SO happy to see you get into UVA! I’ve just told you based on what I’ve seen. Good luck!!
