<p>gpa, kinda bad..</p>
<p>2250+ SAts hopefully</p>
<p>quality ECs</p>
<p>VERY broad aspect of me, I dont feel like duelving into details.</p>
<p>I have asked a lot of people about the OOS requirements for UVA, and everyone is giving me a different answer, will you guys set the record straight?</p>
<p>~thanks</p>
<p>Requirements? What are you talking about?</p>
<p>To get into UVA OOS, the mandatory reqirements and the OOS 25-75 percentiles..</p>
<p>i think uva looks at gpa the most.
then sats and other things
and there are no "requirements"</p>
<p>lol, you must be new to the admissions game. There are no requirements for admission. The IQR for SAT scores of OOS students is not published. Generally, around 30% of OOS applicants are admitted, and, as a group, they have an average SAT score above 1400. They are usually in the top 5% of their class and they have great ECs.</p>
<p>oh I thought all colleges have baseline requirements .. like they will reject you if you dont meet the x GPA , y SAT, and z ECs cutoff</p>
<p>I am relativly new to the game</p>
<p>I wanna apply OOS to UVA I will probably have a lower GPA but higher SAT, dont want to give concrete #s but say 3.7 w and 2250+ SATs</p>
<p>with a GPA like that I'd recommend you save your application money.</p>
<p>Requirements:
1) Nobel Prize winner
2) Olympic champion</p>

<p>well there isn't that great of a difference between my wGPA and uwGPA and I got all the good ecs, 150 hrs volenteering in the hospital</p>
<p>what is your rank</p>
<p>top 25%? from a blue ribbon school whatever that means</p>
<p>I hear a guy with a 2140, 3.45 UW and good ECs got in</p>
<p>You may want to review your stats again to make sure of the numbers. Top quarter of your class is a very, very difficult position to get into UVA from out of state or instate, as well as a number of other universities on the same level as UVA. A standard OOS student applies within the top 5% of their class.</p>
<p>I understand that but there are always exceptions I would imagine</p>
<p>yeah - usually those exceptions are 1 of a very select few things. </p>
<ol>
<li>parents donated lots of money</li>
<li>you can do something with a ball on a varisty level</li>
<li>you've overcome some terminal illness or some extremely horrible set of circumstances</li>
<li>you're black</li>
</ol>
<p>other than that its pretty frickin hard to get in with a 3.4 regardless of what your sat's are</p>
<p>Im Indian</p>
<p>5 on the AP Physics hopefully
2300+ on the SAT retake
lower GPA 3.5 un w and 3.7-8 w</p>
<p>if I write a good essay (I think I have a few good topics on my mind already), will I still have NO CHANCE! OOS and ED/EA?</p>
<p>not saying I am gonna do ED/EA just asking..</p>
<p>It depends on your rank. If your GPA places you in the top 5-10% of your class, you will be competitive.</p>
<p>i don't think anyone can tell you have NO chance...just a SLIM chance. but a 3.5 UW and top 25% of your class wouldn't be extremely competitive in-state.</p>
<p>Oh, I missed the top 25% part. Yea, you might not have no chance, but it's incredibly small.</p>
<p>darn UVA is competetive, I imagine UNC/CH is worse not to spark and argument there</p>
<p>but whats with the stories I hear about the guy witht he 2140, 3.5 UW and good ecs thats basically me except my SAT score is better</p>
<p>here is a thread I found from a google search, search string= "UVA OOS"</p>
<p>dont want to sound like a whiney ***** here but Im just posting what I know</p>
<p>yes i think your chances would be very, very slim even ED.</p>
