<p>I am very active socially, and am planning the first of many teen events to raise money for charity in the fall. </p>
<p>I balance my social life, academics, and sports. </p>
<p>Please inform me of my chances of being accepted to UVA. thanks alot.</p>
<p>Your SAT is mediocre for OOS, and your GPA is not that high. Do you know how well you are doing compared to your classmates or know how many people from your high school are accepted to UVA in a year? Work on the SAT to get a score around 2200. Don't slack on the essays. Essays are what get students in your situation (or worse) acceptance.</p>
<p>i go to a small school, and am probably the first to apply in a couple of years. i am also most likely in the top 10% but definately in the top 15%. i also made the deans list (all A's)</p>
<p>Well, OSSers usually are in the top 5%, but I guess that can slide. Your essays will help you a lot more than trying to raise your GPA 5-7 points in less than 5 months. So get someone really good with writing to help revise your essays.</p>
<p>Im applying too, but I'm in-state. At UVA, the acceptance is 2/3 in-state and 1/3 out of state. However, the number of people that apply are 2/3 out of state and 1/3 in-state. So your competition is very high.Try to reaise your GPA and/or SAT and you'll have a great shot. Also, a strong leadership position would be ideal. Good luck!</p>
<p>as far as sats go, with the math, i got two of three sections perfect and the other one was an extremely difficult section(i was averaging 760 before the test), so on my next test i should be significantly higher. also, on the writing section, i got every multiple choice question correct, but freaked out on the essay and didnt finish it, so i got a 6 out of 12. on my writing section on the next test, i will have practiced the essay writing and time management skills, and will probably be above 750. As far as CR goes, i have a tutor, so with practice, i will easily be in the range of 2150-2300 overall. that said, all my classes are IB and many higher level, and i made Headmasters List, as well (A average in every class). I am most likely in the top 10% of my class, but am not sure cause my school is competitive, my school does not rank, and i have 70 students in my grade. I was a founding member of the Institute for Civic Leadership, a worldwide organization, i volenteer for Habitat for humaity (building houses for underprivelged children), interned at a medical malpractice lawfirm for 3 years, am an editor for my school newspaper(no one really reads it haha, not even me), and was a camp counseler in training. </p>
<p>regarding social skills, by being socially active in new york city, i have made connections with the children of billion dollar men, celebrities, athletes and more. i am setting up an auction with donations from these connections, to raise money for the Save the Children Foundation. With some of this money, i am also going to set up a club event in the city, and donate all profits to the same organization. </p>
<p>I am also hoping to be my 12th grade class representitive to the faculty at my school as well as a member of the honor counsil. </p>
<p>I left out a lot of information about myself and my life in the last post--any new comments?</p>
<p>If you raise your SAT, then that helps. Taking higher level IB courses is another plus and so are your ECs. If you do well enough on your SAT, then your chances are better.</p>
