Instate chances at UVA...

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Virginia

<p>Asian American who attends a specialty magnet school(good rep/strong curriculum)...30 kids from last years graduating class is going to UVA from our program...out of about 80 who graduated last year...a small handful of the kids went higher..like ivy's..so figure probably about 40 got in last year...</p>

<p>GPA-3.7(unweighted),4.5(weighted).....high school only GPA would be higher..but our school includes our grades from high school classes we took in middle school in our GPA...which i did poorly in...a couple C's in non-honors french...</p>

<p>SATI- 660(v), 730(m), 760(w)</p>

<p>SATII- 770(Chinese..im not a native speaker), 700(math II), 700(us history)</p>

<p>Again...our program is known for having one of the toughest course loads around...on top of that I took 2 aps junior year..and taking 6 senior year</p>

<p>EC's- All Virginia Violinist(alot of other orchestra related activities), Debate(placed in district and regional and qualified for state tournament), Play several sports..but not to any sort of level of outstanding achievement..unfortunately, Community Service, Work, quite a bit more such as your ordinary clubs and stuff and a leadership position here and there..don't feel like listing...cause u guys probably get the picture...EC's are pretty solid for me</p>

<p>rec's should be pretty good...</p>

<p>essay's should be alright too...im a pretty good writer..i think thats probably my strong point...but then again..who knows?</p>

<p>so yea...i kno im gonna apply to UVA..and hope that i get in...but let me kno what you guys think my chances are realistically...and also maybe some ideas of some other schools i may wanna apply to..and chances to those schools?</p>

<p>Do you go to TJ? I didn't think they were that small.</p>

<p>Very good chance. If the top 50% of your class is going to UVA, you're in. And his school does sound like TJ (with 50% going to UVA), but TJ has an enrollment of around 1,800. Can't be TJ.</p>

4

<p>Go talk to your guidance counselor and find out how your GPA compares to what past UVA acceptees had.</p>

5

<p>his GPA is fine. I only had a GPA of 3.54 UW, and had a C 10th grade year</p>

6

<p>You sound like your in...but just to be sure you should send in an arts supplement. Watch the deadlines as it is due before the application.</p>

7

<p>The disparity in u/w gpa vs w/gpa makes this difficult to determine.</p>

<p>TJ gpa calc's would not typically provide this disparity. </p>

<p>More info pls</p>

8

<p>I highly doubt he/she goes to TJ.</p>

<p>A lot of schools do the weighting really weird, maybe his/her school is one of them</p>

9
