<p>Just took the SAT last week, Im guessing a 2100 (800M,650C/R,650W)
+ small bump</p>

3

<p>I think you have a very good chance. The fact that you're at TJ will help a lot in the admissions process.</p>

4

<p>yes i think you stand a fair chance at least in my opinion.
Just curious, but how did you manage entrance to TJ and end up with only 2010 on the SAT? No offence really; it just doesn't seem very logical.</p>

5

<p>It might have something to do with the fact that he's not a native speaker of english, 1231...is that logical?</p>

6

<p>you do realize that the TJ admission test consist of a Reading/Writing section as well as a math section?
so no. your sarcastic comment doesnt make it any more logical.
i scored well above the average TJ admission test taker on the math section. my first language is also not english. i have a higher sat score than he does, yet i attend a non-TJ public school. is my question valid?</p>

7

<p>Of course it is, because anyone who is admitted into TJ is supposed to be better at SAT english and math than any other student in the state.</p>

<p>Update!</p>

<p>My new SAT score is now 2230</p>

<p>670 Reading
770 Math
790 Writing!!</p>

<p>I really improved my score and I hope UVA sees that I studied really hard to raise this score</p>

<p>You have a very good chance. But for a better assessment, you should go see your guidance counselor. From what I hear, TJ is generally superior in the area of college advising (duh) than the typical crappy instate school. Your GC can probably give you a good idea of what the typical UVA admit looks like from schools (there are hundreds, as you know).</p>
