<p>I live in Florida and I'm a junior white male planning to major in either Economics or Applied Math with computer science.</p>
<p>Here are my stats:
4.0 unweighted, 4.65 weighted
7/537 class rank
8 AP classes by the time I graduate</p>
<p>33 Composite ACT
33 math
33 english
33 reading
31 science</p>
<p>1990 SAT (retook today but probably won't submit)
630 math
660 reading
700 writing</p>
<p>EC's are okay but not amazing:
2 baseball varsity letters
Mu alpha theta
NHS
120-140 volunteer hours
Working 16-20 hours a week as manager of a concession stand
Co-founder of fantasy sports club (yes I love football so count me in)
Department awards in physics and government</p>
<p>First of all, what are my chances of acceptance?</p>
<p>Second, I won't qualify for FAFSA financial aid or anything most likely, but would I have a chance to get some kind of aid?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
<p>(Plus my uncle went there so he's really into me considering it)</p>
<p>First of all, I’m not an admissions officer - so take this for what it is: an opinion.</p>
<p>I would say, in general, your chances as an OOS student are solid. ACT is good - although I’ve heard a lot of the general consensus being that a 34 is much safer, but a 33 is a good score. You could always try the ACT again as well to see if you could squeak out another point. As for the SAT - I’d throw it away and just stick with the ACT. With that said, I would recommend you take the SAT II subject tests as well - they can be submitted separately, and are recommended.</p>
<p>8 APs is a fine amount, but… taking the class is one thing, your grade and scoring well on the AP tests is also very important. your grades look great so far, so I doubt that will be a problem for you.</p>
<p>Your EC’s also look solid to me - participation in a varsity sport, NHS, 16 hours of work a week (while maintaining your grades), etc. are all very good - don’t underestimate the accomplishment of doing those all together.</p>
<p>But with all of this, know that you will still need good recommendations and excellent essays at application time. Don’t do a half-hearted job there.</p>
<p>As for financial aid, if FAFSA shows you don’t qualify, then UVa won’t provide any. Your only other chance for aid would be a Jefferson Scholarship - which your school needs to nominate you for (talk to your school counselor). If your counselor thinks you would qualify, then you might as well push them on it.</p>
<p>Good luck in your Sr year - still need to work hard of course, but it sounds like you’re doing the right things (from my perspective).</p>
<p>@grp2013 alright thank you!</p>
