I think you have a good shot. Your GPA looks pretty good and your extras look nice as well. If I were you, I’d check out the Econ Department’s website ([Transfer | economics.virginia.edu](http://economics.virginia.edu/undergraduate/transfer)) and see what sort of courses they look for in transfer students - just saying that because I’m not sure whether or not they’d want some more math or other econ courses so you can plan accordingly for the upcoming semester.

As far as your language courses, if you get in, I’d HIGHLY recommend taking summer courses at UVA to knock out the requirement (or other courses). It’s what I did, and it really helped me become more comfortable in the area.

For some perspective, I got in with a 3.7 - granted, this was after applying two other times and having a LOT of credits from NVCC.

Best of luck - I’m loving my experience as a transfer student thus far and it’s a great place to be.
