<p>I don’t know how the admission officers consider international students. But I’d say you have a decent chance of getting in there. You are very consistent in your extra curricular activities, and your summer activities are impressive. Your SAT scores are high even compared to scores here. You’re better that most of the kids here in America. </p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>Good extracurriculars, for an out-of-state student your SAT scores are a bit low. Being from Turkey, which sends lots of kids to UVA, a fairly low SAT score will hurt your chances since there is higher competition from your country. Write some good essays, and you have a decent shot.</p>
