<p>For an out of state applicant I would take the SATs again and try to get your scores up. Also- what sort of AP Test scores do you have and what is your class rank? I like your extra curriculars: it looks like a lot but to me it shows you are really involved in soccer, govt type activities and church.</p>

<p>OOS at UVA is tough; much harder than instate. Some even compared OOS to trying to get in at an ivy. The Oculus is right. Try to get at least a 2000 on the SATs and make sure your essays are strong.</p>

<p>in addition to retaking your SAT’s itd be a good idea to take at least 2 SAT II’s. Your EC’s and grades are good, though</p>
