<p>and do I have a good shot?
I have a crazy-overcoming obstacles background (born in russia, travelled europe, family deaths, now in foster care) which should show thirst for learning. APs: literature, language, government, us history, bio. Gpa 4.0, on honor roll every marking period even though I didn’t go to school for 5 years. SAT 1240, ACT 27 (hope to improve bigtime) EC’s: yearbook editor, international club vp, stage crew, art club, nhs, vollunteer, part-time/full-time job. My recomendations should be great too. Any suggestions/comments?</p>
<p>in or out of state?</p>
<p>How old are you?</p>
<p>I’m in New York State and a rising senior.</p>
<p>Out of state = Very competetive.</p>
<p>Theres a reason why its considered the public ivy…</p>
<p>Really? Do you think I have a modest chance though? What is there take on diversity?</p>
<p>you certainly have a modest chance. Your SAT is low but you have had an interesting life and would bring unique experiences. If you can convey that in your essay that will boost your chances.</p>
<p>Okay, I know my essay should really convey everything sincerely and I have to raise my SAT…what can you guys tell me about UofV from personal experiance?</p>
<p>practically everyone there loves it like …their husband or wife. I say practically only because I’m sure theres 1 or 2 who don’t like it but oh well.</p>
<p>yeah very true…EVERYONE even the staff love UVA to death…everyone’s outfits have to do with UVA (even underwear)</p>
