Let me say again that I’ve been told by admissions counselors at UVA that I am virtually guaranteed for acceptance. Not sure why UVA is still being called a reach after this info. I’m above the median ranks for everything and am strong with EC’s. This thread was mainly created for chancing at UNC and Vandy, as I don’t know my chances as well for them. I also wanted reassurance for Wake and GWU, and I was glad to see they were matches. UVA was only one I was pretty confident of going in.
I understood the first time. UVA is a reach from OOS for practically anyone. Not much is really guaranteed in life. But ok, fair enough. If you are sure of acceptance, why mention UVA in a chance thread at all? Also, unless you have an athletic scholarship for a major sport or donate huge amounts of money, no acceptance is really guaranteed.
Completely agree that nothing is guaranteed. I put it in the thread because I’ve said multiple times that UVA was my dream school and would’ve felt weird leaving it out. @Arsene
@tigerrocks13 If you were told that by an admissions counselor, I would say you have a good shot. The decision isn’t made by one person though, and OOS is very competitive, so it’s still a reach IMO. Just don’t bank on acceptance. You will be extremely let down if it doesn’t happen.
Completely understand @Arsene . But, I will say, the only way that I’m going to UVA is by way of the Jefferson Scholarship, as I am going to leave college debt free. So, the chances aren’t stellar of attending even with acceptance.
You definitely have an upper advantage of admission for UVa. Your OOS stats are spectacular, I feel strongly that you will be admitted there. Certainly have a chance for UNC, the better score for the ACT will help. Easily in for Wake Forest. Vandy may be a reach, but you seem extremely confident and I think it will show on your application. You are a strong student, make them want you. They will. Definitely into George Washington. Keep up the excellent work and good luck!

Vandy: reach
Wake Forest: match
UVA: reach
UNC: high match
GWU: match
Definitely in at GWu. Don’t know anything about Wake Forest sorry, good shots at the other 3. Well rounded applicant overall, with good essays it’d be hard for a school to turn you down! Good luck!
UNC and Vandy are reaches (ACT is currently too low for a good chance at these schools). GWU and Wake forest are matches, while UVA is still a low reach for you despite what the admissions counselor might have said. I know people with far better credentials that have gotten waitlisted and rejected to UVA OOS. Good luck, you are a competitive applicant!
