<p>Sooooo what do u think my chances are 
(from NJ)</p>
<p>Ignore everything below your AP scores, they don’t matter that much. (Also ignore anyone who tells you otherwise.)</p>
<p>At UVA your grades and strength of school curriculum are the key determinants for admission. That’s what they’ll tell you, and that does seem to be the way decisions are made. SAT scores are used to reinforce the picture (so low grades and high scores won’t do it).</p>
<p>Based on that, you should be in very good shape. However, since it’s competitive and we don’t know the details of how the pluses and minuses are scored, it’s not 100%. But the probability is high enough that you shouldn’t be “worried”!</p>
<p>You should of course have some alternatives that you’d be happy with, and I’m sure you’ve thought of that.</p>
<p>Oh I dislike chance me threads for this very reason. If we know anything about UVa admissions we know they use a holistic process. They look at your transcript first (grades, rigor, rank) in context of your school (grading scale, weighting, number of APs offered and/or restrictions). Then they look at scores and the rest of your application. We have seen instate students with similar profiles in stats alone denied. We have seen OOS students with near perfect GPAs and SATs denied. </p>
<p>What we don’t know is this students grading scale, weight given to APs and/or restriction in taking them. Did they take the most rigorous course load based on what was available to them. We know a GPA but we can’t see if that shows a weak sophomore year buoyed by a strong junior year. We can’t see the essays, and frankly they do matter. </p>
<p>The OP may indeed be a great candidate however we are not looking at the full picture the admissions reader is and are unable to make anything past a guess. When a school uses holistic admissions, such as UVa, it makes it even more difficult to judge with limited ‘chance me’ bios what a admit or deny ‘looks like’. What frustrates me personally to no end is when someone spreads blatant incorrect information, such as above. You also have well meaning people, usually asking for chances as well, giving their expert advise “you’re absolutely a shoe in”, or “give it up, don’t bother applying”. All of these are harmful in their own way. </p>
<p>OP, if you have questions specific to UVa please ask away. This is the place to do it. There are a lot of helpful and knowledgable people willing to answer questions. There’s nothing wrong with your chance thread, I simply don’t like incorrect information, and honestly none of us work for admissions (with the exception of Dean J who will not participate in chance me threads) so all you’re going to get is well meaning guesses at best. At worst you can get false information, or be unnecessarily discouraged. </p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>Although blueiguana is right, if it’s any consolation, your chances are pretty decent.</p>
<p>To reiterate, and agree with AndySmith, your chances are pretty good, given the hazards of prediction.</p>
<p>Blue accurately describes the hazards of prediction, and all the reasons you shouldn’t listen to anonymous people on web forums. :-)</p>
<p>However, you asked, and no one had answered for a couple of days.</p>
<p>I made some inferences about your high school curriculum and your abilities based on your SAT and AP scores, and your academic honors. It’s still a guess, but not a wild guess.</p>
<p>I’d say your probability is >50% but <90%, perhaps at the higher end of that range.</p>
