<p>"I'm a chance-a-holic " (from another thread, other site)</p>

<p>Yes, you are! But I think you'll be in at many of the schools you are applying to, including UVA. Merry Christmas!!</p>

<p>Thanks guys! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!</p>

<p>Excellent chance. In fact, the combo of the #1, the 4.0, and the first gen thing would give you a decent shot at a top Ivy. If you are interested in those schools, I think it is worth the time to apply. For my money (literally) UVA is a better all-around experience, but the Ivies certainly give you opportunities other schools cannot.</p>
