Well I’m international I guess since they consider Americans living abroad as international (I’m from the PHilippines but I’m a US citizen). I’d say I have very good stats, and I was ecstatic when I got my “likely letter.” I love UVA!

Anyway, I think you have a well above average SAT score, strong ECs that you are passionate for, strong essays and recs, then you have a good shot of getting in. A lot of people say that the essays are quite important for UVA, so you should make sure to do well in those. Don’t go for the generic, cliched type of essays.

I’m not sure what the acceptance rate is, but I think we’re part of the out-of-state acceptance rate stats? I’m not so sure.

Good luck on UVA! Why don’t you post your stats so we could “evaluate” you.
