I'm planning on submitting an art supplement with the works that will be displayed in my senior showcase next year. I'm not looking to major in the arts, but I still want to be involved in the arts at UVa. </p>

<p>Two 40+ hour teaching internships at local elementary schools</p>

<p>I've been working a part time job for about a year saving up for college. (roughly 30 hours a week)</p>

<p>I have to ask my counselor for a list of the various awards I received Freshman and Sophomore year, but this year I received a Principal's Scholar award, an Art Scholarship Award, and recognition for being a National Merit Scholar.</p>

<p>Clubs (ranked in order of involvement)
Art Club (3 years)
SNHS (2 years)
NHS (1 yr)
Peer Helpers (1 yr)
Environmental Club (2 yrs)
Key Club (2 yrs)</p>

<p>Community Service
300+ hours working at the Race for the Cure and as a Camp Counselor at a bereavement camp for children who have lost a loved one. Out of everything I've experienced, this volunteer work has inspired me most of all and I will likely write an essay about how it has changed my outlook. </p>

<p>I have a feeling I'm leaving something important out...hopefully I'll remember :)</p>

<p>What else should I do to improve my chances?</p>

<p>you’re in-state. you have great stats. you’re in there for sure!</p>

<p>A great athlete and friend of mine was deferred EA with a 4.0 UW GPA, magnet school curriculum, and the same SAT score as you. She was accepted regular decision and she did not submit subject tests. I think you’re in.</p>

<p>^single anecdotes are not very accurate of another’s chances.</p>

<p>Sat score is a bit weak but UVA is easier to get into for instate applicants. Right now looks like you have a decent-good chance, but your chances improve considerably if you raise your score by at least 200 points.</p>

<p>Nothing on this website is accurate of someone else’s chances. It’s all guessing. Cortana431, I don’t know if you know anything about UVA, but strong in-state students do not need a 2160 to be accepted. Not at all. I’ve seen four years of students from my school get in with sub 2000 scores. The example I gave was just one. From what I see on this page, she’s in. My analysis should not be taken as professional and neither should anyone else’s. Still, though, I think my HS experience and lifelong Virginia residency has me more in touch with the school than someone going to school in NY. She has better than a decent chance.</p>
