<p>So... As the title indicates, I was wait listed @ UVa (OOS). I decided to accept my spot on the wait list, and I'm now trying to update my application. </p>
<p>I sent a letter updating my accomplishments with swimming (breaking a club record) , local awards, academic honors, and to reemphasize my ongoing interest in UVa.</p>
<p>But I have another question, would it be beneficial for me to update my application via standardized tests in the comings months? My best SAT is a 2100, and I think the most i could improve it by would be about 100 pts ( to roughly 2200). I haven't taken the ACT, but if i studied consistently I bet I could get a decent score on it (maybe 32ish?). </p>
<p>I don't know if this is a dumb idea or if I should actually pursue it.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s worth it, since they’ll be making waitlist decisions around May. The best thing you can do is write a letter expressing your interest in attending the university and how you would contribute to the community.</p>
<p>Just write a letter why you think UVA should accept you. What did you really like about it and what do you think you can provide to the school that no other kids can…</p>
<p>oh, and another question… will my grades this semester affect whether i get in off the waitlist?..that is, since the wait list decision will probably be made circa june 1st, does that mean that my final grades (which will finalized around june 20th) won’t play any role in their decision? (my grades aren’t looking too good right now)</p>
