<p>I know I still have a lot of time before UVA, but I'm a rising sophomore with some questions. I really want to go to this school, and live in NOVA, but how competitive is it really? I heard the admissions and everything are extremly random and stuff. Right now I have a 4.0 and am in the IB program at my school, so I think I have a pretty good chance...but IDK since it is really random. How competitive is the admissions really? Can those who have been accepted answer? Oh and do they give out likely letters?</p>
<p>You are really getting a head start on this! :D</p>
<p>From the info you've given, you look set. For an in-state student, doing the IB program (Diploma?) with a 4.0, you should be fine. Just keep up the grades, do well on the SAT, and continue with the IB. </p>
<p>Yes, they do give out likely letters, but in a couple years I don't know if they will. They also only give out literally a handfull...very few, so if you don't get one, don't take it the wrong way.</p>
<p>rising sophomore... so you have one year of grades lol. you live in Virginia so I'm sure you'll get in.</p>
<p>UVa's not that competitive instate and moderately competitive. Try not to get any B's, take hard classes, get a 1400+ SAT and play a sport or something and you'll get in. No big deal.</p>
