<p>I realize my ACT is horrible (not good at standardized test), but do I even stand a chance at getting into UVa?</p>

<p>Not a great chance unless you’re ranked among the top handful of students in your class.</p>

<p>Great GPA, outstanding AP test results, good ACT. The Univ. of Virginia, like UNC at Chapel Hill, has Ivy like standards with respect to out-of-state admissions. This suggests that an act score of 32 or above might be “necessary” to have a strong chance for out-of-state admissions to the Univ. of Virginia.</p>
