<p>I have 1 question, how do people get a full-ride to colleges like UVA? I have been hearing it from friends, but do I have to apply for it? Or does UVA offer it to me upon acceptance?</p>
<p>Thanks in advanced!</p>
<p>Once I get an idea of my chance, I'll chance others!</p>
<p>Wow, its great your school has a business club, and that you took action and became a leader in it, my school is new and a public one ( <em>rolling eyes</em>) so they offer nothing really,</p>
<p>I feel as though , given your direct competition ( the Asian race) ,your SAT scores should be higher</p>
<p>and i think the school gives you scholarships once accepted, you definitely qualify for one because of your UW: GPA</p>
<p>“I feel as though , given your direct competition ( the Asian race)”</p>
<p>Some of the advice here is pretty awful, but I think this tops it. </p>
<p>OP: You should ask DeanJ any specific questions and gather information from her blog. Don’t listen to your fellow high schoolers, it’s like the blind leading the blind. Good luck.</p>
<p>@bigshot3008: Yeah its pretty nice, not as formal as the other meetings but its nice to have a business honor society. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, it doesn’t start until later in the year =/</p>
<p>I’m not gonna lie, I’m not too happy with my SAT score either. I was hoping to break 2000, but oh well.</p>
<p>I just hope my solid SAT2 scores can back that up.</p>
<p>ehhh 1950 vs 2010, should not really break your acceptance, and hope you did not take offense to my earlier comment like wahoomb did, i was just trying to be honest and not sugar code anyhting</p>
<p>No, I understand, I need honest comments to be honest. Admissions people are definitely rough with their decisions, so might as well get those type of comments :P</p>
