Maybe a bit an unconventional reply …

If you tried to get into UNC (Chapel Hill) with these grades, everyone would say “Sorry, no way, your grades are just not good enough!” …

So, why should UVA (notably the #2 Public College in the nation) take you then? Only because UVA accepts more oos than UNC - now THAT is a weak reason, don’t you think? Again, we’re talking about one of the top-colleges (public) in the nation …

I think you have a chance, but I guess this would be fair at best. I’m quite sure that UVA will have hundreds/thousands of applicants with a very similar profile. Try to get your scores up and do your best to write ‘killer’ essays.
