UVA Chances? (and other virginia schools)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello! I attend a IB high school in northern Virginia and as I'm a senior I will be applying to colleges very shortly. The thing is I'm super nervous about the whole admissions process (mostly due to my family/siblings being extremely intelligent and getting into really good schools). I just wanted to know my chances of getting into a few colleges and how to deal with the nervousness when it comes to applying.</p>

<p>I'm planning to double major in both Computer Science and Business.</p>

<p>SAT - 2060 (Math 750, Reading 630, Writing 680)
I know my reading score is kind of low which is kind of weird since I love to read and read a lot. My overall SAT score is 70 points higher than the average accepted SAT scores from my school.</p>

<p>SAT Math 2 - 740
SAT Physics - planning to take this on Saturday</p>

<p>I also am pretty funny and light-hearted person (don't know if this is really relevant) and I hope to show this in some of my essays. I rarely worry about things academically but just applying makes me nervous due to the fact that I'm nowhere as near as smart as most of my friends and family. Anyways thanks in advance for taking the time to read all of this!</p>

<p>Also my sister currently attends UVA (dunno if that really makes a difference there).</p>

<p>University of Virginia
UCLA
Virgina Tech
Virgnia Commonwealth University
James Madison University
George Mason University</p>

<p>I know this is a repost from last month but some things have changed and I'm still deciding whether or not to apply early action to UVA or not. Thank you all once again!</p>

<p>There is absolutely no reason NOT to apply to UVA EA. It is nonbinding, and if they don’t admit you directly (I think they probably will) they will simply defer your application to the RD round.</p>

<p>Since you’re applying to the other Virginia schools IS, why not W&M too?</p>

<p>^Other than thinking UVA is a good match, I agree with @Lacoste regarding your chances - none of the other Virginia public schools you list will reject you, so your decision is highly dependent on FA, you should probably pick one or two out of VT/VCU/JMU/GMU that you like better than the others, and save some money. </p>

<p>Can you afford UCLA if you were admitted? Their OOS tuition is among the highest in the nation.</p>

<p>Yeah I’m still thinking about applying to UCLA, I probably won’t end up applying. </p>

<p>Anyone else have an opinion on whether or not I will be accepted into UVA?</p>
