<p>one more question: sorry. april 1 hysteria.</p>
<p>i got in tech, but i have a feeling i will get waitlisted at UVA. what do you think MY... MY chances are at waitlist. will i be at the top of the waitlist pool? am i going to be on the borderline. i have already started writing Another letter to convey my interest. will my chances be increased.
I'm sorry for annoying you guys if you think i am wasting my time here.</p>
<p>anyone???...</p>
<p>Go relax and take a break. lol </p>
<p>I don't think waitlist pools have ranks, but the chances for UVA waitlist last year was 7%, I've heard (not sure tho).</p>
<p>i try .....</p>
<p>Okay, I'll help you while away the empty hours.
Tech: 90% Chance you're in.
UVA: 65% Chance you are accepted.<br>
Tech is a simple threshold of SAT and GPA. Essays, etc. don't count. That threshold changes from year to year, but I don't think it will affect you.</p>
<p>UVA is a tough read. Were the 5 ap's the most you could take? How much vounteering, how deeply committed, etc.? </p>
<p>And, I have to say, a school where a 4.4 GPA does not place you in the top 10% is a strange place, indeed. </p>
<p>But, the overwhelming factor in your favor is your state of residence. I think that will carry you from our capitol to Charlottesville. </p>
<p>Does that help?</p>

<p>PS (Edit) Whoops. I just noticed you were accepted to Tech. Congratulations. Regardless of the UVA decision, I know lots of folks who are happy with Tech.</p>
<p>yea i have a really competetive high school.</p>
