took the SAT today...so lets say....

<p>So lets say i was an african american male with about a 3.7 unweighted GPA and a 2000 SAT (1350 M+CR) and good Ec's. I know this is kinda vague...but what would be my chance of admission. I looked on the website and the acceptance rate for african americans in 2005 was 59.9%</p>

<p>You would absolutely get in with a 2000 SAT.</p>

<p>You also might want to check out the following website:</p>

<p>Pages 3, 7 and 8, in particular.</p>

<p>ok cool..thanx</p>

<p>and nobody can say that you will definitely get accepted with a 2000.
I agree that your chances are high however, other things (recs, essays, etc.) are important also - not just hard numbers.</p>

<p>your chances are great</p>

<p>guarenteed i'd say if in state and very solid if out of state</p>

<p>"and nobody can say that you will definitely get accepted with a 2000.

<p>This is true. But according to the data in the link I posted, the odds go up dramatically - to the 85+% range.</p>

<p>I got in with 2030 so it is possible</p>

<p>not saying its not possible. its actually not only possible but probable but you shouldn't guarantee people something because if he were to not get in ...that would suck.</p>

<p>^ I agree. I know two in-state URM with GPA 3.7 and 2000 on SAT who got waitlisted at UVA.</p>

<p>If they were hispanic, that's not surprising.</p>

<p>One of them was african american.</p>

<p>That is surprising. Maybe other parts of his/her application were lacking or the essays were hurredly written.</p>

<p>exactly my point, cavalier. Exactly my point.</p>

<p>African American's essays were really good. But, I think it is downtrend in his transcript.</p>
