<p>I heard, maybe a false rumor, that if you have legacy, you are also in the instate pool for admissions (but not financially). I was wondering if anyone could confirm this, because out of state I have no chance, but in state is a whole different story...I think at least</p>
<p>Yes, for the most part OOS Legacies are IS regulars</p>
<p>so, as instate, does a 3.4 (don't know weighted), with all honors and 2 APs Junior year and 5 APs senior year, 35 ACT and 2290 SAT sound possible? The GPA is what kills me, but it did improve from freshman/sophomore year to Junior year...And I can take SAT II's if I really need it, I just have no feel for whether this is a legitimate shot or not...</p>
<p>ok, let me make this a little more detailed:</p>
<p>SAT I:2290, 780 V/760 M/750CR
ACT: 35 (don't know if this matters at UVA)
Freshman GPA: 3.1
Sophomore GPA: 3.2ish
Junior GPA: 3.45ish (school does not weight GPA)
Freshman and Sophomore year I took the most rigorous classes possible at my school, Junior year I took AP Chem (5), Honors Biology, Honors PreCalc, Latin IV, AP Psychology (4), Honors American Lit, as well as Yearbook. Senior Year I am taking:
AP World History
Ap Latin Literature
AP Biology
AB Calculus
AP Literature
and Yearbook
My extracurriculars include:
-Student Government 11,12(secretary)
-Class Treasurer 10
-Piano for 8 years, Superior Plus rank in state competition
-Founder of fishing club
-Special needs camp counselor
-Loads and loads of tutoring for elementary and high school students
-Work experience
And other stuff that I can't think of right now, but more or less the same EC's as others</p>
<p>But most importantly, I do have legacy but I have no idea how much that helps, so if anyone has any input that would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

<p>The gpa is weak, but they are in an upward trend. You just need to write a good set of essays to take care of that.</p>
<p>your sat is excellent but you GPA is seems weak. It would help if you knew your class rank.</p>
