<p>It’s a low reach for you. Shoot for 30+ on the ACT (but if you don’t reach that, it’s not a big deal). </p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

4

<p>Thank you for the support! Wish i could find out right now! By the way, I will be taking the SAT II’s in October.</p>

5

<p>Yep, Low reach, its not too far away considering your rank. Upping your SATs or even taking the ACTs will help significantly. ECs looking good, Give Early action a shot! EA+Legacy will totally work out in your favor.</p>

<p>Good luck!

<p>You need to bring you SAT up if you can before you apply. Try for a 2000+ if possible to have a good chance. Or the ACT equlivalent. </p>

<p>Great GPA though! Chance back, I’m applying to University of Virginia as well!</p>

<p>Because you’re an in state student, I think you stand a good chance. Like the others said, definitely try to pull up your standardized scores. I can send you tons of material for both the ACT and SAT, if you’d like. </p>

<p>Born in NOVA but im in Richmond now! Would being in NOVA disadvantage me?</p>

12

<p>Yes NOVA would be a disadvantage. Since that’s where the majority of UVA’s apps come from, it’s harder to get accepted if you live in NOVA. You’ll be fine since you live in Richmond.</p>

<p>Got a 710 on Math Level 1 and a 640 on US History (not great, but i got a 5 on AP Exam)</p>
