<p>First time using this board and had a few questions about UVA, so here's some background. My dad got a new job in Richmond (we are from Florida) and we are going to move at the end of this school year. I'm a junior and UVA is towards the top of my college list and at the top of affordability since I would have in-state status. I didn't think I would be admitted living in FL but now I think I might have a good shot. I have a 3.9 GPA ± .05 depending on how well I do this semester and got a 1950 on my January SAT (looking to take again). I did dual-enrollment for my sophomore year and junior year (this year) and have over 40 hours. I'm trying to decide whether I want to go to public high school or continue with dual-enrollment in Virginia. It all depends on how it would help/hurt my chances for admission. I did a little research on community college transfers and it looks like you get in automatically if you've done two years at a VA CC and meet basic academic criteria. However, you only get two years and you are only admitted to the general college, which has its drawbacks. Would I be able to transfer in if I finished my 60 hours at a VA CC, or do all the credits have to be at a VA CC? Ideally, I would want to be admitted as a high school student and given 4 years to pursue McIntire and have the whole college experience, but transferring would certainly be a good backup. What do my chances look like for general high school admission if I continue with dual-enrollment? No APs since I did dual-enrollment, unfortunately.</p>
<p>If I finish high school at a public high school and abandon the backup of transferring (if it's a possibility), what do you think my chances would be? </p>
<p>As far as UVA is concerned, how do you like the school, people, professors, social-scene?</p>
