*That’s all I can think of off the top of my head & sorry about not including awards/achievements.
I understand that the recommendations and essay are also important components in the admissions process (I think my recs will be pretty bangin’), but right now I’m worried about the grades/extracurriculars portion of my apps. And something I’m even more worried about is the fact that I’m Asian American and how that may lessen my chances getting into UVA, yikes.
