<p>Current School: George Mason first year
Transfer to: UVA
High School GPA: 3.8-3.9
College GPA: 3.98 first semester
EC's- not really any but planning on doing something this semester
SAT's- 1310/1600 -1810/2400 Math SAT-770
Reading and Writing SAT's are kinda bad but dont remember exact #'s</p>
<p>I am applying to the engineering department for UVA for Fall of second year, what are my chances from this?
Thanks ahead for any replies</p>
<p>Ouch on the SAT scores. 500 Writing and 540 verbal just don’t look good no matter how you swing it (assuming you mean you got a 770 on the math section of the SAT I). I feel your pain, though, I got 580 on the math and perfect and near-perfect scores on the other sections. Aside from that I’d say your chances would be pretty good, especially if you took a challenging non-science or math course this semester.</p>
<p>Ya The SAT scores really hurt me a lot. I’m thinking of taking the next SAT to raise scores but I missed the registration date so probably gonna go for stand by testing. I took economics and communication but I don’t think those classes would really count. I’m taking English composition this semester though.</p>
<p>Wow, *doesn’t look good. Also, yes, I would retake it if I were you - but only if you think you can significantly raise your score. Do make sure you get an A in your English class, though.</p>
<p>I took the SAT again new scores are. Math -800 Reading-570 Writing -580
Anyone - Let me know how my chances look now</p>
<p>Are you an in-state student? And sorry, how do you have a 3.98 if you’ve only taken one semester’s worth of classes?</p>
<p>Ya Im in-state. I have a 3.98 because I got a A- in a 1 credit class.</p>
<p>How many credits do you have? I only ask because I don’t need to send your sat scores if you have 32 credits or more.</p>
<p>I will have over 32 credits, i took 17 last semester only 15 actually had GPA hours though and am taking 17. I though sat scores still played a major part unless you transfer after 2nd year.</p>
<p>I don’t know, it’s been awhile since I’ve looked at this, but i do believe if you have more than 32 credits, schools generally don’t want them.</p>
<p>I’m sure you’ll be fine. UVa is a state school. You’re SAT score is a 1950–that’s good enough. Just keep up the good grades at Mason, and submit a mid-term report with good grades. What classes did you take first semester and what are you taking now? I’m asking to gauge the difficulty of your course work.</p>
<p>First semester courses: General chemistry 1, Intro to computer programming, Public speaking, Intermediate Micro economics, Computer Ethics and Society, and a pass fail class Preview of Computer Science.
Courses I’m taking for Second Semester: General Chemistry 2, Object-Oriented Programming, Intermediate Macro economics, English Composition, and Calc 2</p>
<p>Gotcha…yeah, you should be fine… I would also send in an application to Virginia Tech, just in case.</p>
<p>I am also a transfer applicant to SEAS CPE and EE program.</p>
<p>HS GPA 3.7 weighted
SATs: 570 verbal, 730 math
ACT: 27 verbal, 35 math</p>
<p>College GPA: 4.0 (last semester) <–second year applicant
Looking at a 4.0 this semester, too (19 credits).</p>
<p>I didn’t apply last year because I thought my chances were way too low–does that hurt me?</p>
<p>And, I’m an in-state student.</p>
