<p>That's fine. If you are happy with your essay, don't change it for just 100 words.</p>
<p>I just saw on collegeboard that UVA requires 3 subject sats. Do you think my three subject SAT scores are enough? I'm really bothered by this because I'm thinking of taking physics on Jan 26, and I didn't realize this till now, so there's a late fee of $22, bringing my total to $50!!For a one hour test!! Is it worth it?</p>
<p>UVA doesn't require subject tests anymore since the new writing section on the sat...they do however..."strongly recommend" 2 subject tests....therefore...scores that are good...will help you...scores that are bad..won't necessarily hurt you...thats how we should probably think of it..however...do remember...if you got an A+ in ap chemistry class in high school..and score a 550 on the subject tests..that may take away some credibility to ur a+ in that class...and your course rigor...i don't know if admissions people look that deep into things...but it would be logical...anyways..for you...your 710 in math1 will certainly look good...your 650 in math2 may not help THAT much but certainly won't hurt you...but the 620 really probably won't help..but it shouldn't hurt you either...so 2 solid sat 2's is enough for uva...so unless your certain you can get around 660 or better on physics...don't waste ur time and money...another 620 won't ad any more merit to ur application..and personally..i think ur fine the way it is...hope this helps...</p>
<p>Thanks I appreciate your input.</p>
<p>Hi all, Im new at this. actually I am the father of twins who will be entering college in fall of 2011, but Im trying to get grounded in what it's going to take for them to get into UVA or another fine institution. I have heard that being in state can be a disadvantage. I heard this from a guy who is one of the admissions officials for a university in D.C. I see in this thread that "ewhateapps" feels that being in state is an advantage, and I was wondering what or whom you are referencing in regard to this... I appreciate your comments and wish you all much success!</p>
<p>^^ For most state schools, being in-state is an advantage. This effect is considerably greater at UVA, where state law limits the amount of out of state students in each entering class. Thus, out of state students face a more difficult time gaining admission.</p>
