You have nothing to worry about, your accomplishments are already so impressive!

Just focus on your essays and don’t worry about things you can’t change- not that you really have any you would need to change. Plus, UVA LOVES to take international students because they can basically charge you however much they want.
Hope to see you on our grounds this time next year and good luck!!!
