-these are the main passions I placed emphasis on in my apps, I have a few other minor ecs like SGA and piano but I didn’t heavily emphasize them.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! Where else are you applying? (Early and regular?)</p>
<p>AP Spanish, AP Literature, AP Chem, AP Calc BC, AP Macro…then gym and two business electives to fill open spaces (didn’t think about the fact that this only lowers my W GPA </p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Anyway…I’m actually only applying to UVa (reach) & Clemson (I can probably get merit scholarships there)!! As my username may suggest…I dream of being in the south and fell in love with UVa and also with Clemson! I will also most likely apply to Calhoun Honors College at Clemson (:</p>
<p>Thanks!! Deferred, but my BFF was accepted so that makes me happy anyways but my boyfriend got deferred as well… I’m surprised they didn’t send an email or anything. Glad I stumbled upon this thread at the perfect time!</p>
<p>You could definitely get your acceptance revoked. I don’t think they’ll do it because if a midyear report, but maybe the final transcript with your senior grades on it.</p>
<p>Accepted out of state (I think I can be considered an international applicant because even though I’m a US citizen, I’ve been living in India for quite sometime now).
SAT score - 2250, IB Predicted score >40.
I’m so happy!!! It’s my first acceptance and I simply cannot wait for my next decision (that is probably coming out next week).</p>
<p>A quick review of the decisions thread shows that only 5 out of 21 accepted students who posted had an SAT score below a 2200 (or its ACT equivalent). Now, there’s obviously some selection bias here on CC, this is a small sample size to draw conclusions from, and the EA pool is stronger than the RD pool, but admission to UVA feels a lot more competitive than a few years ago when some of my friends applied. </p>
<p>I’m interested in seeing the mean accepted SAT score tomorrow. I have a feeling it will be higher than last year’s mean SAT score of 1395 (math + CR). </p>
<p>Congrats again to everyone accepted! It’s really amazing that we’ve made it this far wahoowa!</p>
not my first choice, but an amazing school, i am so excited! congrats to everyone :)</p>
