<p>Honestly every person who post on this board has the ability to succeed at UVA (I would know seeing as I by far had the lowest academic stats of anybody who was accepted and has posted here so far). All that matter is if your reader likes you or not. I remember a good analogy that a UNC admisions dean told my senior class. </p>
<p>Pretend thatthe reader is stuck in an airplane terminal for a few hours. Does your application make him want you to be the person that sits next to him and starts up a conversation with? </p>
<p>Also one thing I would ask is for those of you who were denied or waitlisted, when did you send in your application. Maybe sending it in too late caused them to be tired at the point it was read.</p>
<p>One final thing. If i’m correct applications are read based on stacks that carry a certain characteristics. For example legacy applicants have their own stack that is read by a person. Maybe some of you did not fall into a favorable stack. </p>
<p>Just some food for though.</p>
