<p>So, I'm definitely going to UVA's SEAS school! But, I didn't qualify for the Rodman Scholar program. I will be applying midterm next year. So far these are my stats:</p>
<p>AP Scores:
Calculus BC: 5
Calc BC AB Subscore: 5
Physics B: 5
World History: 4
English Lang: 4
US History: 4
Also, have taken Mult. Var. Calc and Linear Algebra</p>
<p>GPA (weighted): 4.19
GPA (unweighted): about a 3.9/3.8? (one B)</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: I don't really have much
I spend a lot of time working out (instead of a school sport), at least 12 hours a week
Managing an investment portfolio</p>
<p>Honestly, I was surprised I didn't qualify for the Rodmans.</p>
<p>The midyear admissions are mostly based on your academics and involvement during the first semester at UVa, and also significantly on an interview – it’s hard to judge chances based on a high school record. I’m glad you’re coming to SEAS! Good luck with school and with the midterm applications!</p>
<p>It’s different. I think there’s some luck associated with the incoming freshman decisions for the honors programs, just because its insanely hard for admission to pick the “top 5%” out of a large application pool that’s already extremely qualified. Because so many fewer apply for the midyear Rodman admissions, and because the application is specifically directed towards the Rodman program, I think the midyear application is much more accurate.</p>
<p>That said, the highest-performing first-years are generally the ones who are doing the midyear application, so its certainly a competitive field. I would say it probably is more competitive than the regular admissions, but also more fair wrt my point above.</p>
