Chance me for University of Virginia?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Virginia
1

I am currently a junior.
Stats: 3.75 GPA (I know that some schools calculate your GPA from just your sophomore year and junior year, not sure if this school does that. If so, my cumulative GPA from those 2 years would be about a 4.2)

1300 SAT (I just took it again last week, I think that I got about a 1400-1450)

Male, Caucasian- out of state

I’ve taken AP US History (and did well)
Honors Inorganic Chemistry (and did well)
And by next year will have taken AP Bio, Organic Chemsitry (which is a second year college class), and CP English.
Also, Spanish 4 which in the future will be an AP class.
My school doesn’t offer any IB or HL classes, also few AP’s

My passion is medicine.

I wrote my first proper, independent research paper my sophomore year of high school with the advisory of a Ph.D of neuroscience (Entitled: Alzheimer’s Disease: The Theory of Causation). This paper has been published in a magazine and was inspired by witnessing the progression of my grandfather’s Alzheimer’s Disease. I am currently working on my second (Chronic Irregular Respiration and The Allostatic Load), which will be finished and published by the time I am applying next year.

Also, I have a medical TV spot on a local TV show that I host (broadcasted to around 100,000 people).

In addition, I shadowed a doctor at my local hospital for a week and had the opportunity of witnessing, and to a limited degree, assisting in an actual autopsy.

I also have a website that I started which is dedicated to bringing new and “divergent” perspectives to various medical related topics (currently has 3 authors, me included).

I also co-founded a public speaking organization with the Ph.D I mentioned above, where I gave numerous speeches.

Finally, I have my student pilot’s license and will (eventually) obtain my private pilot’s license.

Other facts:
I will have recommendations from a professor of neuroscience and from a Harvard trained cardiologist (both of which have mentored me in medicincal concepts for a year+)
I am NHS president of my chapter and played varsity tennis for 3 years.

Work on your gpa and SAT score. Include some safety and match schools on your list. On your other thread you have all reach schools.

3

^ Also, by the looks of it, your ECs looks great. I’m also hoping to get accepted to UVA in a few years time!

4

Your gpa will be calculated based on all your high school classes even those taken in middle school like math and foreign language. You transcript that is sent to colleges will includes all grades especially from 9th to 12th.

5

Reach, since OOS.

6

Very competitive for OOS. Consider it a reach on your list but you do have a shot. Good luck!

Testing/Rank (offers only)
Middle 50% NEW SAT score: 1330-1490
Middle 50% ACT composite: 31-34
We use scores from each section in our review, but the reports on averages generate totals. Way more students submitted the new SAT than the old, so I’m dropping the stats about the old exam.
