GPA and Class Choices</p>
<p>my gpa weighted is a 4.28846
I am 7th out of 228 in my class
I have taken 8 of the 9 AP classes my school offers (AP psychology,biology,chemistry, English, History, Government, Calculus, Latin) and have also taken Honors course throughout all of high school.</p>
<p>I started working at Food Lion my senior year.</p>
<p>Do I have a good chance at getting into UVA?</p>
<p>Are you in-state? (<em>wonders because she’s never heard of a Virginia school that small offering that many AP classes and Latin</em>)</p>
<p>I’d say you’ve got a good shot academically and in ECs. I’m not sure how much they value SAT scores. I mean, they’ll accept someone with a 1400 and 3.8 GPA sometimes. It all depends on the person. So it would be about trying to sell yourself as best as you can. You’re kinda on a bubble. UVa’s admissions can be all over the place.</p>
<p>Yes I am in state and my school is quite small (about 950 students total for 9-12) Also would the fact that I am the first in my family to actually go to college help me out any?</p>
<p>I guessed. Mine is about 1200. 255 in the graduating class. My friends have smaller schools though. I’m jealous. My school tends to go for DE classes more than AP. Not that I take the DE classes through my high school. I take DE classes through Governor’s School which is through a different community college than my high school. I just found the Latin odd because the only school I know that offers Latin is scary big.</p>
<p>By the way, I’d suggest trying to take the November SAT if you can. It’d be good to try to up the scores.</p>
<p>yeah lol my we have latin 1-4 and also AP latin. I think that will help me too because i took all 5 years. Oh! another thing is that my school is on a 6 point scale based on grades so i don’t know it that will help me out too</p>
<p>Can I get some more chances from some other people? Is there anybody who has been accepted before that can give me some good pointers or can tell me if I will be a good applicant?</p>
<p>anybody else want to give me some feedback on my chances? i really would like some more opinions</p>
<p>you have some great stats but in my school the avg GPA accepted at UVA is 4.52… I would look at william and mary as well
chance back</p>
<p>Bring your SAT up by at least 100 points and you should be good. Right now, it looks like a low reach. Your SAT could be your downfall.</p>
<p>Yeah indy the only problem with getting a 4.52 is it is impossible in my school because the top kid in our graduating class has taken the hardest classes all throughout high school possible and still doesn’t have higher than a 4.5. So yeah</p>
