<p>Hello i was wondering what are my chances of getting into UVA. I am a Black Male with a 3.6 gpa and a 1750 on my sats. I go to a very competitive private catholic school in northern Virginia. I have a ton of ec's and many awards for athletics. I have taken 5 ap classes and 10 honors classes at my school where you have to be placed into those classes. I took a business class at NVCC during the summer and i am taking a dual credit class at Marymount university. I want to be a finance major. What are my chances? Also i have been receiving emails and letters from uva encouraging me to apply because they want to increase their diversity among black students. Ps i come from a higher income family.</p>
<p>Its a reach</p>
<p>UVa- low reach due to racial status</p>
<p>they also sent the letters late so does that mean they dont have very many african americans applying this year?</p>
<p>UVA: low reach</p>
<p>I think you need to stop relying on your race to let you in, I don’t think you would do well in UVA even if you were admitted because your stats are below the 25th percentile admitted, so aim for match colleges.</p>
<p>the only chance you have is with affirmative action.</p>
<p>when did he say he was relying on his race? answer: he didn’t.</p>
<p>well there is no other way for him to get into UVA besides race unless he did something major or play for the school</p>
<p>Well Rurouni, the only way your getting into college is if they see your amazing battojutsu techniques and that you really are the true battosai.</p>
<p>How does him mentioning his race in a college chancing forum automatically mean that he’s relying on his race to get in?</p>
<p>Cmon its unfair to say he won’t do well just because he has a 1750 SAT. If you’re passionate about finance, that will show more than any freaking test score will. Yeah being a black male will help, no one will deny that. But 1750 is too low. The school has median SAT in the high 2000s. It statistically unlikely that you will get in. Your GPA is the same story. But maybe UVA will see through all that and admit you. </p>
<p>It is a reach for you.</p>
<p>Gpa and sat is below average for this school. Minority status helps. Try getting some good references and prove that you are passionate/capable in your desired field (finance) in your EC’s and essays. </p>
<p>In my opinion its a reach, but it could happen if your app comes together nicely. Good luck!
Chance me back plz</p>
