Hey there!
All of your extracurriculars are awesome! And they should definitely catch the eye of the admissions board.
If I were you, my only concern would be the gpa, for UVA does care a lot about grades. However, they also pay close attention to the essays, so make sure they really show your passions for certain subjects.
Also. if you’re in state you’re more likely to get accepted because the rate for in state students is 40%. For out of state it’s 20%
Hope this helps and best of luck to you!
PS – I am a Virginian who also loves aerospace engineering 
^ Critical question posed above: are you OOS or IS?
UVA isn’t as easy as some % can sound. They factor geo diversity within the state, like to spread the opportunity around.
true. But definitely way harder OOS. The only person who has ever gotten in from my school has a 35 (the ACT avg for Cal Tech lol).
Thank you, for the answer, I know the grade thing messes me up. My school calculates it the “lazy way” that brings down A students GPA’s and raised B students
