<p>I've been looking into UVA but I've seen the high statistics. How do I fare?</p>

<p>I'm an Asian senior, international school / passport. School sends a lot of students to Ivies and top schools.</p>

<p>Freshman GPA: 3.8
Sophomore GPA: 3.76
Junior GPA: 3.62 (1st semester) 3.52 (2nd)</p>

<p>Cumulative: 3.71 (unweighted)
no ranking system or weighted grades in my school</p>

<p>Courses:</p>

<p>APUSH (5)
AP Psych (5)
AP Bio (5)
AP Lang & Comp (5)</p>

<p>plan on taking: AP Calc AB, AP Euro, AP Lit, AP Econ (Macro/Micro)</p>

<p>SAT IIs: US History (690), Biology E (660)
SAT I: 1920 -- 670 M 640 CR 610 W (I was so mortified...I'm retaking it in October)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>I'm really not much of an athlete due to health issues. I was involved in my school's community service program full-time in 9th grade, visiting orphanages etc. every week after school. Joined the Habitat for Humanity club sophomore year till now, just got elected for a leadership position for the next school year. I plan on going on a Habitat building trip as well. On weekends I alternate weeks for visiting orphanages and volunteering at a cerebral palsy care home as much as I can. In addition, I'm also involved in NHS and Prom Committee.</p>

<p>I've played the piano for 9-10 years, passed the ABRSM level 8 exam along with intermediate music theory. Also played clarinet in band since 5th grade.</p>

<p>I'm passionate about classical music, appreciating art, and humanitarian endeavors, but my school has limited opportunities for me to expand on them. ..so I'm not sure how I'll be able to show my interest in those areas.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Average GPA for OOS applicants is right around 3.7 to 3.8 and average SAT score is around 1950, so you are pretty close to the average accepted student from these statistics. In addition, you all 5s on the APs should help you out. Your SAT IIs are a little low for UVA--but I understand they don't count those very much</p>

<p>I'd give you about a 55-60% chance of acceptance. Not great, I know--but better than 50-50.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
