<p>Hi guys! I would love if some of you know about UVA and how they admit applicants.</p>
<p>So I am International. I moved here when I was 13 from Italy and I had to learn English so I am at a bit of disadvantage compared to American students GPA wise and SAT wise.
But here are my stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.55
SAT: 1950
TOEFL: 107
Total of 16 IB/Honor classes during High School
IB Diploma candidate
Extra.Activities:
-Varsity Football
-Varsity Track
-Varsity Soccer
-Volunteered a lot for Leukemia & Lymphomia Society
-Volunteered at a public library
-Cyber Patriot (Cyber security)</p>
<p>I am trilingual now: Italian, English, and Spanish.</p>
<p>Do you think I have at least a shot at getting into the University of Virginia???
Thank u so much for ur help,
Federico</p>
<p>Hi Federico,
I definitely think you have a good chance at being accepted to UVA. If they have any value for diversity they will understand that your test scores are really excellent, especially for someone who didn’t grow up speaking English. Did you draw attention to your international experiences in your app? I actually have a somewhat similar situation to you (I grew up in Italy and the U.S.) and I honestly felt that it was important to mention that in my application because it can add to the diversity of the candidate. Your EC’s show a lot of commitment and diversity, so that can only help you. Also your Toefl scores seem really good to me. Schools can make foolish decisions and overlook very unique and solid candidates but I would put my money on you getting in.</p>
<p>Best of Luck,
Maddy</p>
<p>Well thank you very much maddy:)</p>
