<p>What are my chances of getting into UVA?</p>
<p>Sorry, I don’t “chance” students. Please don’t put my name in thread titles…I try to make my way into most threads, so there’s no need to call me out. :)</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance IMHO.</p>
<p>bumping up…</p>
<p>In-state = good chance of acceptance.
OOS = iffy</p>
<p>Lots of schools would be interested in having an AA student like yourself who is able to pull their weight academically as your stats indicate you can. UVA is as hard as the Ivies for OOS, i.e. lots of excellent kids get passed over.</p>
<p>Nooo, I am OOS!</p>
<p>bumping…</p>
<p>can you retake sats? not very good oos :/</p>
<p>Your SATs are only 1860 but if you checked African American, then they will probably add about 230 points on your SATs.</p>
<p>Since your out of state its still a pretty low chance.</p>
<p>“Your SATs are only 1860 but if you checked African American, then they will probably add about 230 points on your SATs.” </p>
<p>Is this true???
As an Asian American will anything be factored in for my SAT?
What about other races, just curious?</p>
<p>plue00…you have no clue.</p>
<p>What are my chances please?</p>
<p>
Where did you hear this? It is completely false.</p>
<p>
No one gets points added to their SAT scores at any school of which I know. </p>
<p>Take what you read on these message boards with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>UMich used to grade all factors of an application by assigning points and they used to automatically give free points for URM status. A supreme court decision put a stop to this</p>
<p>Well aware of Michigan’s old system, but thanks for trying to update me on that one. 
</p>
<p>A points system was not described above. Plue00 posted that points are added to the SAT scores of students from certain ethnic groups. That is completely false. It is not done.</p>
<p>Where can i find the most recent statistics of people who applied and/or got accepted to UVA? Does it also include minorites who applied and who got accepted? </p>
<p>I wish there were sample statistics of students who got accepted XD</p>

<p>Dean J your awesome!</p>
<p>I didn’t mean that they added points on to the SAT total. I was just saying its easier for a URM to get into college with a lower then average score on their SATs.</p>
<p>i wonder if UVA classifies races when deciding, like “were trying to aim for a 44%-50% of hispanics” and arranges all hispanic applications together, and chooses the best 44%-50%, i have a gut feeling they do that for some reason</p>
