<p>I'm an out-of-state candidate from a high-performing suburban public high school. My weighted GPA is 3.6 (I know this doesn't look too great, but it's mostly because of math and i'm applying for political science, i'm hoping they'll take that into consideration). My SAT scores are: 610 math, 690 reading, 730 writing with an 11 on the essay. SAT II scores: 630 Math I, 660 Literature, 800 U.S. History. My AP scores are 5 on AP US History and 5 on AP US Government, both from junior year. I got an A in AP US History and an A+ in AP US Government, and I've performed well in English and other history courses, and I've been on the honors french track for freshman, sophomore, and junior year. I've always been on the advanced math and science track as well but sometimes i haven't performed as well as i'd like. This year I'm taking AP English Literature, AP Biology, AP European History, AP Art History, Calculus 1, and French 5. I was the student representative to the school board for 3 years, a member of student council, in chorus, an active member of the Global Responsibility Organization, and a contributor to the newspaper for 2 years (freshman and sophomore). I had my AP US History and AP US Government teachers do my recommendations. What would you say my chances are?</p>
<p>Your SAT scores is good and your AP Scores are really good. You seem to have some strong EC’s, however, your GPA will realllyy bring you down. I mean it’s hard for a in-state applicant to get into UVA with a 3.7 UW, so I don’t know how well you will fare with a 3.6 weighted. An OOS automatically has half the chance of getting in as an in-state applicant just because UVA seems to favor in-state applicants. What’s your unweighted GPA? I mean, you should always give it a shot, no matter which school it is. If I were you I would work at my essays and have brilliant teacher recommendations. It’s not as if it’s wholly impossible. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Your SAT scores will definitely need to be brought up. Also, continue to work hard to bring your GPA up because those two things are what will hold you back from Virginia. But otherwise you look very competitive.</p>
<p>My unweighted GPA is 3.4</p>
<p>3.4 is not that competitive.</p>
