<p>You don’t give enough information. Not that these threads (or our opinions), are really all that useful, but you don’t mention if you live in VA and a 3.8 doesn’t mean anything without at least “how many APs” or what courses you are taking this year …</p>
<p>I think a nice compromise, as there is a sticky at the top of the forum asking that chances be posted in the chances forum, start a chances thread in the chances forum and post a link here. Anyone that would like to participate has an easy link to your thread there, and the primary focus here continues to be answering questions, and discussing things, directly related to UVa. </p>
<p>Best of luck to you!</p>
