<p>ive been dying to go to uva all my life, so here are my stats, tell me what you think:</p>
<p>in-state white female
jewish
my sister went there</p>
<p>i took four middle school courses and received a B in all four of them.
i have only had one B in high school since, and I have taken the most rigorous course load possible. i took one AP last year. this year my schedule consists of:</p>
<p>AP ENGLISH
AP FRENCH
AP PHYSICS
AP US HISTORY
AP PSYCH
Math Analysis
Journalism 2</p>
<p>i plan on getting all As so my GPA after junior year will be a little over a 4.0 its based on a 4.0 scale</p>
<p>i have tons of extracurriculars, here are the most prominent ones:
Soph. VP
Jr. VP
French Club VP
Varsity swim fr. and soph.
i coach special olympics swim team
commentary editor for my schools newspaper
i write for my citys newspaper in the teen section
NHS, Younglife, SCA, City-Wide committee chair.</p>
<p>my SATs are kinda weak, but i hope to break a 1200 this year. tell me what you think, thanks!</p>
<p>oh and i should have awesome recs and essays!</p>
<p>May I ask which county you live in?</p>
<p>virginia beach. the second largest school district in the state. competitive high school at that. my rank should still fall in at least the top 10% though if not top 5%</p>
<p>A sub 1200 SAT is gonna kill ya. I would seriously work on getting that up. I went to UVA alumni weekend and we reviewed prospective applicants, we rejected 3 kids just in this session with high 1400's.</p>
<p>BRING UP that SAT score, a 1200 sub is like almost a death penalty for UVA. Once you get the 1400's then it should be good.</p>
<p>not necessarily, i know a lot of people that had as low as an 1150 and they got in.</p>
<p>That seems odd to me. Did they have something else big going for them?</p>
<p>Sure they may have gotten an 1150. How about their EC's? Probably some insane jock. How about their GPA/Class Rank: 4.0 UW/ 1 ? How about their good old ESSAY<-- critical.</p>
<p>The point is that lots of other things besides SAT count. Great. The point is unless your one of those ultra jocks/valedictorian you at least need to try and hit the 50th percentile on the SAT. Sure a guy can get in 1150, doesnt mean everyone can.</p>
<p>i was thinking the same thing</p>
<p>I don't think your SAT score will be the kiss of death. You seem quite qualified otherwise, and your love of UVA is apparent--don't discount that. With good rec's and essays, and especially if you apply ED, I think you've got a great shot. If you bring up the SAT score, it can only help. :)</p>
<p>sorry to say but you need like 1400+, especially at a competitive public high school. if you lived in the middle of nowhere itd be different. i don't think you'll get in with that score. consider VATech, its an awesome school!</p>
<p>Over a 4.0 on a 4.0 scale? That's new.</p>
