<p>I recently attended a tour at UVA and I liked it. what are my actual chances of getting in with a 4+ GPA, 1930 SATs?</p>
<p>depends on your ECs, essays, if you live in state, SAT subject tests, etc.
We cannot advise based upon GPA and SAT score.</p>
<p>I would suggest re-taking the SAT.</p>

<p>The SAT is fine for in-state if everything else is strong.</p>
<p>I don’t understand the point of chance posts belonging in the chances forum. There are so many schools that are asked about and I doubt many people on that forum know what UVA likes/dislikes. </p>
<p>Anyways, I’d say you have a good shot considering you’re instate. Retake SATs if you want, would help a little.</p>
<p>Obviously the OP needs to provide more information if he/she wants detailed responses. Of course the most important piece of information is IS or OOS.</p>
<p>That said, I wouldn’t casually advise his chances one way or the other given the little bit of information provided. For example – what does 4+ GPA mean today when a number of districts in NOVA have increased the weighting of AP and honors classes? Where the 4+ puts him within his class says much more than the fact that the GPA is above 4.</p>
<p>The OP should know that his essays are critical for UVa. While his SAT scores are in no way preclusive for UVa, especially if he is IS, I suspect many of the recents admits with similar SAT scores had killer essays.</p>
<p>Ava- agreed about IS/ OS. In addition, the classes you took are important. UVA cares about grades in tough classes. The biggest NOVA county doesn’t rank so you may not know, depending where you live. I’d check your school’s Naviance is it’s offered and look specifically within your school. EC activities, essays, and test scores are presumed less important than course rigor and marks in those classes. From the little info provided you look like a solid candidate. You could also look at this year’s results threads although they won’t prove anything but may give you insight. Good luck. I remember being in your position. Hope you’re a wahoo this time next year!</p>
<p>
I think “chances” threads get in the way of the threads where there are good questions and conversations happening. </p>
<p>What’s more, they seem to send students on a roller coaster of emotions and the people responding are truly guessing about an outcome based on limited date without context. Even if a student posted the full high school profile, it’d be pointless to try to predict how a selective school would view the entire application, which contains more elements.</p>
<p>AVA55 is right. The GPA has become a highly creative calculation and is pretty much meaningless without context. There are schools where the majority of the class has a GPA over 4.0.</p>
