4 years of Spanish and a year of latin
1760 SAT (taken once) I will be taking it two more times
I have yet to have taken the ACT
Rec Basketball
Top 12 of my class
I work two jobs with one being a managerial position
Volunteer at church
Hopefully starting a ultimate frisbee club as a Senior
School Mascot</p>

<p>UVA: Aim for 2100+/31+</p>

3

<p>Yeah I understand. I need to get those scores up.</p>

4

<p>Double legacy will help but those test scores will make it very hard to get acceptance at UVA OOS. Looking for 2100+ / 31+ to have a fighting shot as OOS.</p>

<p>legacy means you are put in the in state pool. in state EA acceptance rate for uva is 42%. naviance says that kids from my school (in state, fairfax county, very competitive) usually are accepted with a 4.06 and an 1860. </p>

<p>Your grades are great for UVA, but obviously you realize your schools need work to have a shot at UVA. Since you’re in the legacy pool, I’d say 1900 would be enough, but just to be safe, shoot for over 2000 to make UVA a low match/safety.</p>

<p>I’m taking both the SAT and ACT in the next couple of months. Hopefully my scores will dramatically increase.</p>

<p>The GPA and SAT are kinda low for UVA, so it would unfortunately be a reach until you raise those</p>

<p>Does UVA weigh legacy at all?</p>
