Run this by your own high school guidance counselor. That person can tell you how many students with your grades and test scores have been admitted at UVA in recent years.

Unless an institution admits solely by the numbers, and you have the GPA and test scores that will get you an auto-admit, you can’t consider it to be a real safety. Pretty safe, maybe, but truly safe, no.

In VA your flat-out guaranteed safeties are the community colleges. Most of them have formal articulation agreements that guarantee transfer into the VA universities. Take a look at those as well.
