<p>It's very hard OOS but worth a try. Our son had a 3.9 UW/4.8W GPA, 1500 SAT, Great SATII scores, 8 APS with mostly 5 scores, varsity sports captain and other leadership ECs. Sounds good right? Waitlisted and then rejected - but we think the key was that he was only top 10%, not top 5%. Based on the experience at his high school, UVA heavily weights rank. Top 5% is expected for OOS students. Also, your reading score and MathII, French and AP Calc scores are low and may hurt you. Good luck to you!</p>
<p>Don't worry about AP scores. You don't have to report them if you don't want.</p>
<p>4.8 GPA is impossible...at least using normal grading standards. To the TC, your SAT scores are low for OOS. Take it again.</p>
<p>no - 4.8 is NOT impossible - I said weighted. APs are weighted. Highest GPA (All A's with the most APs possible is 5.13). I did mention that the uw GPA was 3.9. My point was that it's hard to get into UVA OOS even with VERY high numbers, especially if you're ranked outside of the top 5%.</p>
<p>Well, in Virginia we add .5 for AP classes. The highest grade in a class you can get is a 4.5 meaning the highest GPA possible would be around 4.3 since you cant take all APs. I'm fairly sure UVA recalculated it. Some schools even add points for honors classes, UVA does not.</p>
<p>UVA doesn't care what your weighted GPA is. All schools calculate this differently.</p>
<p>^ Exactly. Even to the TC, I highly doubt your weighted GPA would be 4.45 at UVA.</p>
