Hi! UVA OOS is really competitive, but I think you have a good chance. Even though you don’t have any “national” extracurriculars, your academic strength is very evident and you have some really impressive internships. Some tips for you are to combine all of your tennis activities into one extracurricular slot, especially emphasize your internships, and combine all of your volunteering hours into one slot. Your GPA and SAT are all set, don’t fuss over that too much. For the other universities:
Pitt, Drexel, & Penn State: Safety
UMD, Boston University, Wake Forest: Match
UVA, U Michigan: Reach (OOS)
U Penn, Dartmouth, Brown, UCLA, Northwestern, Northeastern, Emory: Reach for everyone

Thanks I appreciate the response!

Is UVA your top choice? You do know that they added ED this application cycle, so it might make EA a bit tricky imo. If UVA is your first choice, being oos, (and IF finance is not a problem), you may want to consider ED.

UVA is definitely one of my top choices, but financially I want to go to grad school (maybe med school) and have another brother who will be in college one year after me, so I don’t want to take the risk and financially burden my parents.

I don’t think UCLA gives lots of FA money for OOS, you should consider dropping it.

Ok thanks, do you have suggestions for top STEM schools that are generous with merit/need based money?

VCU in Richmond, Virginia has a strong program (academic, research, and volunteering) for anything health-related including guaranteed admission program for VCU’s medical school. They also offer some merit scholarships for students with your stats.
