<p>I think funployee was dead on with his predictions, with UVa not being a complete “IN” but a good shot.</p>

6

<p>Your SAT is not average. I’d say its above average.</p>

7

<p>ehhhhh but for the schools i’m applying to, it’s at about the 50th percentile, so it’s average in that regard</p>

8

<p>I agree with the above posters in terms of predictions</p>

9

<p>Your chances are excellent for UVA. Extremely excellent I would say, especially with legacy.</p>

10

11

<p>I think you’ll get into UVA</p>
