Could someone guess my chances? (is chance an official verb here?) :)

<p>Aite, so I wanna go to UVA, but it is kind of a reach for me.</p>

<p>Asian Male
First generation college
low income family</p>

<p>SAT:
2160 (800Math, 720 Writing, 640 Reading)
SAT II: 800 Math, 770 Chem, 760 Physics
AP: 8 total
4 taken last year: Chem: 5 Macro Econ: 3 US History: 3 French: 3 (terrible)
senior year AP's: Gov, French Lit, Calc BC, English
GPA: 3.65
All honors where available
Class rank: we don't rank but I'm guessing somewhere in the 70% :((((</p>

<p>Essays: pretty compelling, but not "sextastic" or very well-written
Recs: Decent
Counselor: Decent
Hooks: iono, first gen college?</p>

<p>thanks guys.</p>

2

<p>in state or out of state?</p>

3

<p>in state, so that might help improve my chances</p>

4

<p>toss up, im surprised at ur ranki givin ur SATs and ur APs seem very diff. if u told me to guess ur APs given ur SATs, idk ace ur essays and id say in</p>

5

<p>yeah my school is hella competitive
my essays look good so far</p>

<p>hopefully i'll get in</p>

<p>I don't think it's a toss up at all. </p>

<p>Your SATs are well above average (1380 is the 50%, yours is 1440 [good job, btw!], your course load is challenging, your GPA is decent, and your school doesn't report rank (although I doubt you're in the 70th percentile). </p>

<p>A major hook is your first generation status. If you look on collegeboard, you'll see UVA ranks first gen status as a very important admissions factor. </p>

<p>I don't think chance threads are the best place to base any hopes on, but OBJECTIVELY you fit very well. Plus, you're in state.</p>

7

<p>yo, I rove kerry crarkson, ashree simpson, micherre branch, paris hirton, and britney spears too!</p>

<p>on a side note, rooks rike you've got a decent shot. I think 3.75 is the magic number but if your essays and ECs are regit then why not.</p>

8

<p>IS + low-income first-gen?</p>

<p>Don't be 100% sure but I say be fairly optimistic, if not confident, of getting in. Except for GPA / class rank (and I went to a no-name high school), I had comparable (or weaker) stats coming in as an OOS low-income student.</p>

9

<p>unless you like, go to that magnet school, thomas jefferson or w/e, where your gpa would be low, looks like its possible.</p>

<p>-easyyyy modeeeeee</p>

10

<p>yeah i think first gen is good for me, as most of you say.
but i am definitely in like 70-90% of my school.
i'd like to point out my low AP scores</p>

<p>hopefully i'll get in.
thanks guys. </p>

<p>and no l's on my keyboard, i'm gonna get you when we return to school. so you betta watch out.</p>

<p>and easy mode, i do not go to that nerd school. lake braddock is where it's at homeboy</p>

<p>I visited TJ (my gf's HS) once ... well, it has a bit of nerds ... but a lot of the students behave surprisingly normal. :p</p>
