<p>Chances?</p>

2

<p>I think you have a really good chance.! Good Luck.</p>

<p>i think you have a good chance with your grades, ec’s, and act, but a friend who applied who was completely qualified like you got waitlisted, so i wouldn’t be 100% confident. i think it’s just harder for out of state people to get in</p>

4

<p>I’d strongly suggest you take the SAT II’s if you haven’t already.</p>

5

<p>I didn’t think they were required with the ACT at UVA? But I am in November.</p>

6

<p>SAT II’s aren’t required for anyone at UVa. But I think they rec. you take them which, happily, you are.</p>

<p>Just understand that UVA is horribly competitive to get into. Even in-state with your stats or above get rejected- and VA funded its schools with a strong, clear comittment to residents. However, there is a trend at many state schools to seek full-pay OOS, for the revenue. Don’t know if this applies at UVA.</p>

<p>I think that you have a very good chance. Kids like you from our OOS HS get in with strong scores and high grades in tough classes. Make sure you stress how interested your are. Good luck.</p>

<p>On the [UVA admissions website](<a href=“http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/admission.html”>http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/admission.html&lt;/a&gt;), they “strongly recommend” taking at least 2 SAT IIs. Do not underestimate the strong recommendation. Acceptance to UVA is very competitive. Good SAT II scores before the Jan 1 deadline can only enhance your application.</p>
