I think you have to be a resident at the time you apply to get in-state status at UVA. In terms of your application, make sure you spend a good amount of time on your essays and personal statement so you present yourself as well as possible. Going forward I would not rely on any on-line calculators to determine your likelihood of admission at any super selective school - they tend to be overly optimistic in my experience. Knowing that UVA will be a very tough admit (as it is for nearly every student) think about what you like about the school and look for some matches that have a similar vibe where the chances of admission are greater. Good luck!
