<p>Starting off, I've been in love with UVA ever since I first visited it with my sister when she was applying to college. While she was attending I fell even more in love with it and it also didn't help that my life long best friend was just accepted there. </p>
<p>The average SAT score and GPA score for those accepted from my high school is 1960 and 4.35 respectively. The admissions rate is also about 41% - on par with that of accepted in state students. </p>

- 1690 SAT (620 Math, 550 reading,520 writing) - took once due to being too sick twice in a row and then took my only SAT while I was sick with pneumonia. On recent practice test I've superstores above a 2100

<p>Hook: At the beginning of freshman year I was hit with a variety of injuries that kept me in slings and castes until the beginning of sophomore year. I was forced to quit basketball, one of my true passions at the time, as well as cross country. I managed to play half the lacrosse season my freshman year but I did so injured. I had a really hard time freshman year in terms of making friends and staying active. My grades suffered but as a result I started my online business selling gaming currency which helped me find my passion fr business.</p>
<p>Letters of Rec: one will be from my business teacher who loves me and is also the supervisor for FBLA. The other one will be from my manager at work who loves me and is impressed at what I've managed to accomplish for being a 17 year old.</p>
