<p>What part of VA are you from? Being from certain counties makes it much easier to get into UVA than others because the school has some weird policy about taking a percentage of kids from each county (b/c it’s a state school). So the problem you run into is that if you’re from NoVa it’s highly competitive.<br>
If you’re not from NoVa or one of the competitive counties around Richmond I’d say you have a realistic shot. Your GPA is higher than mine was(had a 3.47) and you’re ECs are better (I played two varsity sports and have a blackbelt in judo. Beyond that I helped out/worked at a horsefarm in Middleburg), but I had a higher SAT score by a couple hundred points.
I’d say apply knowing that it’s a reach. If you get in you’ll be extremely happy, if not you knew it was a reach going in so no great loss.<br>
My family has a house on Sullivans Island (outside of Charleston)and I consider CofC, but UVA is just such a better school. CofC is highly competitive for out of state students (it’s not even a very good school, just great location). I’d say you’re a reach there as well. Both have amazing looking girls if that matters to you.</p>
