Chance Me Please

<p>Reposted from the other section, since this is my #1 I thought it would fit here nicely:</p>

<p>South-Asian (Pakistan), Male
Currently a Senior
No Financial Aid
Major = Biology
Full IB Diploma Candidate</p>

<p>GPA:
Weighted - 4.33
Unweighted - 3.90
No school rank</p>

<p>SAT:
I plan to retake, but this is what I have been receiving on the official practice tests:
Reading - 600 (I really need to improve this =/ )
Math - 730
Reading - 710</p>

<p>Clubs:
National Honor Society
Math Honor Society
Science Honor Society - Vice President
Spanish Honor Society
Business Honor Society - Vice President
Chemistry Club
And some others, but not as prestigious</p>

<p>Extras:
- Runner-up for senior class Vice President
- Went to Boys State for Virginia - Became a city chairman, also elected Best Citizen of my 55 person city
- Tutoring 3 people for a total of over 300+ hours
- Track Athlete all 4 years of High School, Varsity last year
- 2x Regional Science Fair (2008, 2009)
- 1x State Science Fair (2009)
- I am currently part of a small group of people who rallied together TONS of supplies and we are trying to ship them over to Nigeria to help a sister school our High School adopted</p>

<p>I've also got some awards here and there, honor roll all quarters, overall heavily involved in community service.</p>

<p>I feel like I am forgetting some things, but I believe these are the major aspects of my application.</p>

<p>The school I really want to go to is University of Virginia (UVA). Does anybody have suggestions to schools that are higher rated than UVA that I could possibly apply for and get accepted?</p>

<p>Also one last question, anybody think it is possible for me to get a scholarship to UVA with my credentials but no need for financial aid?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>As I understand the current policy, it is not possible to get a non-need-based scholarship at UVA unless you receive the Jefferson Scholarship (given by the Jefferson Foundation, not UVA) because UVA no longer gives merit scholarships.</p>

<p>There are other scholarships at UVa…</p>
