<p>I don't live in VA but my dad went to law school here. I think that means I am counted as in-state? If so would UVA be a match or still a reach? </p>

<p>If you live in VA then that would be counted as instate. However if you Dad went there for college that would be legacy not instate. But yea your stats are great!!! Apply!</p>
<p>I brought that SAT math up from a 590 and it was kind of a surprise to me that I even increased it as much as I did. I really don't think I can get it any higher. But my ACT math was a lot better I think? I don't know, maybe I should take it again?</p>
<p>Legacies are considered with the instate pool for admissions as Cavalier said. If I recall correctly, although I'm not absolutely sure of this, grad school counts as legacy.</p>
<p>I don't think they are considered instate per se, but their chances of getting rejected are lower. I still believe that instaters have a much better chance though.</p>
<p>For purposes of admission (not for determining in-state tuition and fees), students of a UVa graduate (undergrad or graduate school) are considered in-state. They are considered against the in-state pool of applicants.</p>
<p>I think someone should make a sticky that says:</p>
<p>If you are In State, and within 2 standard deviations of CC average intelligence, you will get in.</p>
<p>If you are OOS - refer to what they told you when you posted the same question on the Berkeley forum.</p>
<p>*note that this is in no way aimed at the OP, but these chances threads get old - If you are in state, you have a really good shot, if you are out of state, no one on here can tell you anything other than "give it a shot and see what happens", this goes for 99.999% of chances threads on here. I applaud this one for its nonconformity in actually raising and answering the question of wether or not legacies are in state, bravo!</p>
<p>To repeat what Elgordo said so well: For purposes of admission (not for determining in-state tuition and fees), students of a UVa graduate (undergrad or graduate school) are considered in-state. They are considered against the in-state pool of applicants. </p>
<p>Meaning, YOU (as a legacy) will be considered in-state by the admissions office :). However, if you are accepted and matriculate at UVa, you'll be considered OOS for tuition and fees purposes :(.</p>
<p>And yes, as an in-state applicant, you look like a good match :).</p>
