You look like you have a decent shot; your stats are similar to mine, as an OOS student. Put a lot of effort into your essays.

@perrin9 What are your extracurriculars?

I will be attending in the class of 2020 and had similar stats. Extracurriculars vary widely, based on what was available to you, but I had consistent membership (and leadership) in several clubs, showing dedication throughout high school, as well as some standout leadership positions such as NJ Girls’ State and awards in Girl Scouts. I also had a unique opportunity to serve on the board at my church. My extracurriculars were nothing extraordinary (I didn’t raise $10,000 for cancer or organize anything huge), but I had definite leadership and consistency throughout high school. Not everyone is going to have something spectacular that they just can’t turn down. That is why essays (and recommendations - mine were spectacular) are also important, so as to make you stand out.

Hey guys I bumped up my ACT to a 34 composite ( E: 35 M: 34 R: 34 S: 31) and a 35 superscore (E: 35 M: 34 R: 34 S: 35). How do my chances for UVA EA look now after taking these into account?
