<p>My D’s class and EC were similar, but her stats were better. 2180 SATs, 4.0 unweighted, 4.5 weighted, 7th in class out of about 350 after junior year when she applied. She was waitlisted on April 1. She elevated her class rank from 7 at the edn of junior year to 5th at senior mid year to finally 3rd at graduation, increased her weighted to 4.7, earned some additional honors and awards and wrote to admissions to update them on her improvements. She got an additional recommendation based on her efforts as a senior and the results she got by increasing all of her standings. She was finally admitted on June 8th. </p>
<p>She is a white female from the mid Atlantic with no hooks to UVA. </p>
<p>You need to finish your Senior Year strong and let admissions know about your mid year grades and other things. If you are waitlisted and still interested then you probably need your last semester to be outstanding.</p>
