Pretty please chance me for UVA?

GPA: 4.2/4.0 (weighted)
Rank: 21/290 (top 10%)
APs: 7 APs total, 4 my senior year
AP test scores: 3-World History, 4-English Language and Comp., 4-Psychology
SAT score:1890 (570 Math, 640 V, 680 W)
SAT II: 640-U.S. History, 640-Literature (should I send these?)
ACT:26 (should I send this?)
ECs: school soccer team for two years, have starred in two musicals, was the student director of an award-winning One Act play, am currently acting in a One Act play, am the Editor-in-Chief of my school paper (and was last year), am the Historian of National Honor Society, and in Spanish National Honor Society, Environmental Club, Spanish Club, a computer and technology club, and am in the International Thespian Society.

I have tons of volunteer hours and was a lifeguard for two summers. I have won multiple awards for journalism and a poetry award.


I'm very worried about my SAT score, especially my Math one. Math is clearly not "my thing".

If you have any experience with the UVA admissions process, then please let me know what you think my chances are of getting in!

Thanks for your time!

P.S. I am Hispanic, so I don't know how much that impacts admission. Also, I am from a small town in central Virginia, my school is not well-known at all.

P.S.S. I was accepted into and attended Summer Residential Governor's School for Humanities this past summer.

At least you don't come from NOVA or else it would be that much harder to get in.

Your ECs are just fine for UVA though, so I'd say high match... as long as you're not taking a major that requires mathematics as a pre-req.

Thank you for responding! And no I'm definitely not haha. Math is obviously not my strong suit. I'm trying to do International Relations.

Do you think I should submit ACT score or my SAT II scores?
