<p>Hey guys what are my chances for UVa. It is by far my first choice, but I realize that it's extremely difficult getting in if your out of state.</p>

<p>Rank: 2-239
GPA: 4.0 - 4.0 (97.5 Average for all 4 years) (7 APs)
ACT: 30
SAT IIs: 730-730-750-650 (World and US History, BIO - M, BIO - E) (Majoring in Bio and History)
ECs: Varsity Soccer (Captain), Varsity Cross COuntry, National Honor, Beta, ~250 servive hours for church (btw I'm Asian), work - ~20 hrs/week
Essays: the main common app essay was good, the two supplement essays were better i think
Recs: 2 great ones</p>

<p>I sent in my mid-year report. (A's in all 4 of my AP classes)</p>

<p>i posted a chance thread a few months ago, and i was told that my chances were pretty slim because i’m an OOSer. i had better stats and about equivalent ECs, so i think you’re in the same boat.</p>

<p>CrystalPineapple thanks for the reply…and i looked through all your posts (ya i’m that desperate) but couldnt find your chance thread…i was looking for it to compare my stats…but oh well whatever…</p>

<p>I have also heard that it is really hard to get in if you are OOS.</p>

<p>Good luck getting in though! :slight_smile:
What is your second choice?</p>

<p>the only thing that may hurt you is the 30 ACT, but besides that…I don’t see any weaknesses…</p>

<p>I honestly still think you have a shot but keep in mind that I too am an OOSer trying to ignore the difficulty of OOS admissions :)</p>

<p>so my chance pretty much sucks? i see that people with 32-34’s ACT scores have been getting likely letter…so i guess those people are the really strong candidates…and for everyone else the ACT average migh be lower?</p>

<p>guys OOS might be hard but not as hard as you might think it is</p>

<p>650r-660wr-770m got me into e-school last year. go figure</p>

<p>^^agreed…it’s definitely difficult but entirely possible</p>

<p>i don’t even go to one of the so-called “competitive” high schools and last year 4 students got in who were in the top 5% but none of them built rocket ships or anything. in fact, all 4 ended up matriculating. i think those stats are really strong and are definitely competitive for admission :)</p>
