</p>
<p>Well I knew quite a few seniors last year who had stats better than mine and still ended up getting rejected... where as a few with stats worse than mine (one had stats that were A LOT worse) got in as well... so this doesn't seem like an easy thing to predict...</p>
<p>I know an Asian who had about the same sat's (well, she got a 2000 on her 3rd try) and ECs, but graduated val. Still though, instate, she considered UVa her safety :rolleyes: ... I think you have a decent chance too.</p>
<p>
Uh, sir, you didn't mention Va.Tech, he didn't mention wanting to apply to V.Tech, and going to a community college to save money is most certainly not lame, especially if you're getting less than 25,000 a year. You must be the kinda person that calls the police and asks to shoot if a homeless guy wanders into your driveway. Douchebag.</p>
<p>.kurrupt. in like the 5th or 6th post down I said "I know that if I go to JMU or Tech and get good grades there I'll have a really good chance of getting into UVA and should get in, but it's not guaranteed."</p>
<p>I think that's where cavalier302 pulled out the VA Tech from, but you're right that I never mention anything about "wanting" to apply to VA Tech, I don't want to apply to anywhere but UVA, lol... but anyways I think we should keep this forum nice and friendly and not turn it into a debate over who's a jerk. So, let's all drop this topic and go back to my original question and chances. :)</p>
<p>I dunno. I'm not an expert on the admissions process. Still, I find that admissions is much less random than most people think. Class rank, SAT, race and high school competitiveness account for 95% of it.</p>

<p>Wow, ***. Let's use some sense and look at the numbers before we resort stupid ad hominem attacks since we fail at thinking here. Considering how the OP's numbers are superior to the majority of VTech ACCEPTEES, and how Vtech only requires general information (no essay reqs), VT was very much inclusive here.</p>
<p>Saying cav302, quite possibly the most helpful person on this board, is someone who "calls the police and shoots some homeless guy in his driveway" or whatever the **** you said is stupid as hell. He's said quite useful things in this thread- much more helpful than some guy who makes a couple posts and starts complaining about one of this board's most active members. Those are things that you and the OP should listen to. Really, what the hell were you thinking when you were throwing around terms like 'obscure college' then? </p>
<p>And what the hell was up with the earlier term 'no offense'? It's pretty clear you were trying to be offensive with your garbage, bull**** statements.</p>
<p>The agreement is open to everyone and even though it is available to me I am going to try to get in the Unviersity without it. The only problem I have is that you are flaunting the agreement around like it was made specifically for you. If you are gonna use the agreement, use it. Some people use simple cause they dont have the money, or the grades. But youre attitude is like everyone is a loser because they dont have the option. IMO, youre scared of getting rejected and the guaranteed agreement helps you sleep at night. Despite what people want to say, CC's def. arent as good as many 4yr "residential" colleges, but for some the 2 year benefits of attending a CC are worth more than attending a "real" college. Good thing for me is I am getting my CC thing done in one year :)</p>
<p>"IMO, youre scared of getting rejected and the guaranteed agreement helps you sleep at night."</p>
<p>umm... basically. I basically said this in my first post when I was like "this takes a lot of pressure off me."</p>

<p>... i don't see how you think i think everyone else is a loser... i mean they have the option as well... I'm saying that once I found out about this agreement I had fallen upon a win-win situation that was particularly beneficial to me since I want to attend UVA so badly.</p>
<p>The reason I think ur flaunting it is because this thread had no initial point to it except to let evryone know how happy you are about the agreement. </p>
<p>Congratulations, you have plan that will get you into UVA!! Is that what you wanted? ;)</p>
<p>If you have stats to be a competitive applicant at UVA out of high school, going to community college for 2 years is far from a win-win situation.</p>
<p>UVA is not the only school you would be happy at, no matter what you think right now. And if you are UVA calibur, I don't think you will find too much enjoyment at community college.</p>
<p>Students, teachers, school/college administrators and parents in Virginia are not use to the idea of going from a community college to an elite university. But it has been at the core of California education, and it has been a highly successful structure. It provides almost unlimited opportunities for students, rich or poor, who are interested in getting a top-flight education without worrying about vague notions of whether they are getting "valuable experiences" that you can only get at a four year residential college. The experience you get at a community college is merely different, not any better or worse, than you get at a four-year residential college. At the end of the whole process, Datkid, you will have the same University of Virginia degree that every other student receives who fulfills the requirements mandated by the dean of undergraduate students of the university of Virginia. (BTW Datkid, my guess is that you will be able to ace the requirements for UVA even if they made them more stringent).</p>

I don't think the statement that people "are not use to" (sic</a>) the idea of starting at community college is correct.</p>
<p>Plenty of students transfer every year to four year institutions after spending two years in the VCC system. The lack of an articulation agreement before 2005 does not mean the Virginia's community colleges were not sending students to schools like UVA.</p>

<p>not quite. I just wanted to put my plan out there and get feedback and advice. lots of people have been posting helpful insight and that's what i wanted.</p>
