<p>that act score will definitely hurt you. have you taken the sat's. and is your 3.6 uw or w?</p>

<p>Your ec's and rigorous courseload will definitley help out along.</p>

<p>I'd say you've got a decent shot due to instate/multi-legacy status</p>

<p>I would still label it as a high match/ low reach though. I hope you're applying to more schools than just UVA</p>

<p>I definitely am...W&M..Mary Washington..JMU...and maybe Tech although I really can't stand their school!! ha..</p>

<p>Tech owns you!!! Haha</p>

<p>As for UVA, the fact you are legacy in several respects is great, a few of my friends got waitlisted due to the fact they weren't legacy when people who were legacy with worse grades got right in.</p>

<p>Stats seem a bit average/maybe slightly low but your EC's are a pretty big boost.</p>

<p>I would say due to your connections and the fact you are legacy at an increasingly legacy-based school, and your impressive and diverse array of extra curricular activities that you have a pretty good shot at getting into UVA, but tech still owns.</p>

<p>Good luck =P

<p>haha yea I see what you mean...what do you mean by Tech owns me..you mean the fact that tech is easy for me to get into??
Because I feel with my ECs and grades it's pretty freaking easy to get into..I would never ever go to Tech though..:)...</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good shot especially if not a lot of people from your county apply. It'd be tough if you were from Fairfax Co.</p>

7

<p>yea...a lot of people from my county ARE applying maybe 15, but only 1 other than me are applying to Engineering program...
I feel like I have a good chance, but I could be way off course</p>

<p>15 isnt a lot at all. At my school alone, over 150 kids are applying</p>
