given that you can't spell medal despite all your 2400's on the SAT, definitely don't apply  | |

| I think CC has been misusing this term, though.  Trolling is baiting people to respond with inflammatory responses ... creating a new account to invite laughs to a satirical post is just a subset of sockpuppeteering/smurfing.

Well...according to your stats, you'll definitely get in. However, I would not recommend your applying since I think you do need to sign the pledge on the application. Recall that lying is a violation of the honor code. Thus, you will get into UVA but you will be expelled instantaneously.
