UVA Wise

<p>How is UVA Wise overall for an education? I am pretty sure i will get in but just want to get a feel for the college. Also, how is the social life there?</p>

<p>Does UVA-Wise have big sports to watch? Often schools that have sports to watch have more of a campus social life. Is the school a “suitcase school” (meaning that many kids live close enough that they go home for weekends?)</p>

<p>What is your major?</p>

<p>What are your stats?</p>

<p>It seems more like a suitcase school, but does have a football team and a basketball team. I would major in economics and look to transfer after one or two years.<br>

<p>It was originally a two-year school for residents of Virginia’s Appalachian region, and 10 years ago was called Clinch Valley College. The name change signaled a more statewide mission change, but it’s a work in progress. With under 2,000 students, only a quarter live on campus. The median student SATs are below the nation’s average. With an CR+M SAT over 1200, you’d be an anomaly - their 75th percentile is 1060.</p>

<p>What is your weighted gpa from ap classes</p>

<p>it is the same a 3.43. My school does it on a 4.0 scale.</p>
