<p>Hi all, I am just trying to weigh my current chances to get into UVa(business), any ideas what I should do to make my chances a little higher given my current stats.</p>
<p>I am a half Hispanic from Miami
My gpa in hs was 3.7w/4.0
Sat = 670/640/600
Loads of Ec's, Tough Classes
I travel a lot. Parents are divorced since I was 4, low income household, ADD, parents never went to college, dad abused alcohol. Some other things.</p>
<p>College- Penn State main campus, Smeal college of Business
First Semester Grades</p>
<p>Semester 1: 16 credits
Business Admin intro class- A
Math 110- B-
Cmpsc 203 - B+
Religious studies- B+
Astro - A</p>
<p>Semester 2: 18 credits
STS 100
Spanish 1
Micro Econ
EGEE 101
Business Ethics 242
English 15</p>
<p>I should have gotten an A in Cmpsc and at least a B in Math 110, but a few problems arised in cmpsc and caused my grades to fall in those two classes quite drastically during finals(the finals were on the same day, but that wasn't the problem)</p>
<p>My second semester seems to be going well, and hopefully ill be seeing a pretty large gpa boost.</p>
<p>Tons of clubs and volunteer work/Ec's so far
• Penn state Economics Association
• Penn State Network of Entrepreneurs(one of the first members)
• Fly Fishing Club
• Philosophy Club
• Red Cross Club</p>
<p>A lot of volunteer hours, with many more coming.
Volunteered at a thrift store for a few hours, will go back.</p>
<p>I play guitar, but I just started and am teaching myself.</p>
