Deferred from UVA ED but want to know my chance at RD.. PLEASE HELP!!!

<p>Here's the deal, I went through exactly the same thing 2 years ago at UVa. Your SAT and GPA are too low. You could improve your chances at UVa by getting a 4.0 this semester to boost your GPA as much as possible. From what I understood when you are deferred ED your application goes on the bottom of the pile and is read last during RD. An admissions officer told me that they don't flat out reject many applications during ED and defer most of them for RD but most don't make it during RD. Unfortunately, unless you can boost your GPA you don't have a great chance considering that you don't have any superb EC's, you are asian and are from NOVA. UVa is really looking for someone in the top 10% of their class. If you are that would boost your chances considerably. On the plus side you can always go somewhere else for a year and then transfer for a year. Also I'd say you've got a good shot at most of the other schools on your list besides perhaps George Washington. Good luck!</p>
