Hi could someone please give me their opinion! I was deferred early action and I am so nervous!!! Half of the time I think I still have a chance, but then at the same time I think there is no chance of me getting into UVA.
Here’s a little about me:
- I am an instate applicant from a very rural area of Virginia
- Caucasian female
- I am applying to the college of arts and sciences and want to major in international relations
- I am a legacy
- my grandad was a professor at UVA
- I am 6/136 students (top 5℅) and the girl ranked 5th got in early action to arts and sciences
- weighted GPA: 4.548 (my school does not calculate unweighted)
- I had a 1250 on the SAT
- I’m in my school’s governor’s school
- I had amazing recommendation letters and my essays we very well written and thought out
- I am nervous because I am taking the highest courses offered at my school and every other year I have gotten all A’s with the exception of math courses and 1 other class. However last semester I got:
AP government - A+
AP Calculus - C+
AP English - A-
Governor’s school internship - A
Is this going to kill my chance, or will the admissions team realize math is my weakness and that I am not going to major in math in college? (This calc class is extremely hard because the teacher is a UVA engineering graduate who believes that even the honors bell curve should be at a c). Many people from my school have gotten a c in the past, but they either got in early action or got the c 2nd semester.
