<p>Hey Anna where there is a will, there is a way! I know that sounds so cliche but it's true. I think that UVA will see that you've done your best with what was available to you. Your ACT score is excellent, so no problem there! Try taking some SAT subject tests...as many as you can to make up for lack of AP's (I know it's not your fault!). Boost your rank up just a bit to make sure...and write some good, interesting essays. good luck!</p>
