<p>Hey everyone, I'm a political science major freshman at VT and was wondering if anyone can help me with applying to UVA. First, some of my general stats: </p>
<p>High school stats:
GPA: 3.89 (weighted) </p>
<p>took many AP classes 11th and 12th grade. </p>
<p>Was in NAHS (national art honor society), honor roll, and the only AP art student ever at my high school</p>
<p>completed 5 years of math, 4 of science, 5 of language, 4 of English </p>
<p>1160 SAT and 28 ACT</p>
<p>College stats:</p>
<p>came in with 12 credits from AP courses</p>
<p>In SIA as the representative to SGA (gov't). I am also in the House of Representative in SGA and I participated in the campaign to promote voting registration.</p>
<p>took 15 credits in the fall, but dropped one class. I did this because I had to leave urgently, which resulted in missing an exam and quiz. I didn't get a Dean's excuse, nor could I talk to my teacher. </p>
<p>GPA: 3.25, OK, I KNOW that's really bad for UVA but:</p>
<p>this semester I'm taking 18 credits, some of which are at the 3000 and 4000 level (kinda like junior and senior level) and I'm retaking my dropped math class. I also carefully picked my teachers this semester to ensure A's. Last semester I got two teachers that never give A's - which is the reason why my GPA is so low.</p>
<p>I have nearly met all the transfer requirements for UVA, except for foreign language and math.</p>
<p>My passion is art and politics, which can be seen throughout my application, recommendations and extracurriculars. I have strong essays I think, and I'm working on possibly talking to the Art department. I have slides I am submitting for review. </p>
<p>Is UVA a plausible school to transfer to? I'm very passionate about going to UVA. I need to know if my stats are good enough to be competitive for UVA including my SAT and ACT scores, my dropped class and the reason, and if my current college CPA is alright until I can swing a 3.7 this spring semester. Although I really like art, I'd rather double major in philosophy or economics; but I still want to use art as leverage to get into UVA.</p>
<p>Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks a bunch</p>
