<p>You’re better off posting in the “Chances” Forum of this board – you’ll likely get a better response there. Good luck. :)</p>

<p>tried that. i think posting here is better because its school specific. if theres a uva specific chances thread where do i find that?</p>

<p>This board is mostly for responding to questions about UVa, we don’t really answer chances questions. The dedicated chances forum is your best bet.</p>

<p>I’ve always been confused about how much they look at SATW.</p>

<p>Either way, you’re probably a mid to high match.</p>

<p>Hard to say though. </p>

<p>I applied as a first year with a double legacy (which SUPPOSEDLY gives me the same consideration as an in state) with good SAT scores and a 91 UW GPA and was rejected.</p>

<p>I think if you get a chance, taking the SAT again would be helpful.</p>

<p>Do/make/participate in something spectacular too, if you get a chance.</p>

<p>And make sure your essay in great. Don’t settle for a “good” essay like I did.</p>
