Chances at UVA (and possibly suggestions)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Right now I'm a junior, but I've started panicking over my SAT score and GPA. Any chances/suggestions are appreciated.</p>

<p>Residence: Virginia (So in-sate)</p>

<p>I however go to a magnet school, a highly competitive one, and I'd say I'm comparatively faring pretty badly in terms of GPA and SATs.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.78 (Freshman + Sophomore)</p>

<p>SAT: 2090/2400
Critical Reading: 670 Math: 800 Writing: 620
(M + CR): 1470/1600</p>

<p>Class Rank does not exist at our school
Colleges will probably find out anyways, I'd say I'm on the short end of the stick.</p>

<p>Important Classes that I took/am currently taking
DR - Dual-Enrollment</p>

<p>Multivariable Calculus (DR)
AP Calculus BC - 5 on AP
Math Modeling (DR)
Discrete Mathematics (DR)
Statistics and Probability (DR)</p>

<p>AP Physics
AP Chemistry</p>

<p>AP Economics
AP US History</p>

<p>EC's:
-Robotics Club (3 years so far and an officer)
-Ping-Pong Club (3 years)
-National Honors Society
-Mu Alpha Theta
-200 hours of community service</p>

<p>Awards/Achievements:
-Qualified for AIME</p>

<p>-2009 Motorola Quality Award for our Robot in a Robotics Competition
-2007 KMO 2nd place in nation</p>

<p>I also submitted a solution to a physics challenge in a magazine, and was recognized. More specifically, the magazine The Physics Teacher. Would this count as an Achievement?</p>

<p>I am also aware I am lacking in EC's. I am planning to play tennis this year, and volleyball next year, would this be enough?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>However, the Average SAT score at my school is around 2100 and the average GPA is pretty high too. So I’m still a bit worried.</p>

<p>Your GPA is good so the SAT is prob what your worried about and even though its not that high, in state at UVA is huge and while the SAT may hurt for someone out of state because you live in Virginia you will have a much much better chance. So i say youve got a really good shot</p>
