<p>whoops wrong place</p>

3

<p>will you be instate?</p>

4

<p>what are my chances both instate and out, I just wanna see if I am good.</p>

5

<p>if you are out of state, I would say you have little chance -- it is very hard to get into from out of state and your test scores are low (middle range SAT Critical Reading for UVa is 600-710, Math is 620-720)</p>

<p>If you are instate, but from one of the more rural areas that don't have as many kids applying to UVa, then you have a better chance -- but it still isn't great.</p>

<p>See how you do on the ACT -- many kids do better on the ACT then they did on the SAT. if you can bring your test scores up (mid-range ACT score for UVa is 26-31 composite) then it will really help. </p>

<p>Essay count alot at UVa -- so spend some time on them.</p>

6

<p>work your ass of to get ure SATs up and u have a shot
it's been done</p>

7

<p>aww man, I can't I just can't get my freaking SAT's up. Its impossible. I did 3 full length tests and reviewed them all and did like 40+ questions from question of the day in one day for this June SAT, I hope my critical reading scores improve to at least 600 and my math scores go to at least 650 and writing to at least 650, or I need serious help.</p>

8

<p>if you do better on the ACT, that is fine. UVa accepts both and will look at your highest score.</p>

<p>thanks peeps Im still a little scared I, I hope I can write good essays but yea senior year I am gonna have a super intense schedule, 3 gov school classes with college english and AP Stat(all weighted) and then regular government.</p>

<p>oh and some of my friends are taking government at a community college to boost their GPA and so they are getting 6h release. should I have done the same, or does this look stupid to colleges?</p>
