<p>Tuba guy I don’t think your chances are that great, you should certainly apply but UVA is a reach. Your SAT’s are pretty low for OOS. A 3.9 weighted is not that great, particularly for out of state. You don’t say what type of high school you go to but judging by the size I’m assuming it is a public one which makes your rank a bit less impressive. As the previous poster noted, AA applies mostly to black applicants according to the WP article and the study you cite.</p>
