<p>Not sure if I'm going to be accepted! My brother goes to UVA (class of '13) and loves it and I would really like to follow in his footsteps. Just wondering if I could get some experienced opinions on my chances.</p>

<p>Here's my stats:</p>

<p>-3.76/4.0 GPA
-31 ACT
-SAT: 720 math, 660 reading, 590 writing (1380/1970)
-Top 15% (top 50 ranked HS in Texas)
-Out of state
-Non minority male
-Completed a 160 hour paid internship with an oil production co this summer (applied, interviewed etc..)
-Taken several business courses at school
-Member of business club at school
-60 total service hours
-Leader at a freshmen drug mentoring program at school
-Have had a job for almost an entire year
-Eagle Scout
-5 on US History and Language Comp. AP's
-Rigorous classes (Honors/AP)
-NHS Member</p>

<p>Thx for all the help I really appreciate any advice/answers I get.</p>

<p>Also I took the SAT 2 but didn't do to great low 600's for both, would it hurt more if I just didn't send them b/c they aren't required but recommended.</p>

<p>Please post chance threads in the chances forum… There is a whole section of this site devoted to just that.</p>

<p>Sorry, just saw that. Although since this is dedicated to Virginia there would be more knowledgeable opinions. I did re-post this on the chances section but if anyone would like to help me out I would greatly appreciate it (sorry about the mix up).</p>

<p>Would anyone like to chance me though?</p>

<p>Maybe the alums should post their stats, and then current students can tell them that they would have no chance of being admitted today, under current standards.</p>

<p>For instance, my high school didn’t even offer AP classes, and I wrote my essay in pen on the application form, without doing any drafts. I also never did roof repairs in Costa Rica.</p>
