<p>I’m a Junior and as the Seniors are all receiving their acceptance (or rejection) letters, it’s time to start thinking about the dreaded ‘what are my chances’ for colleges I’ll apply to at the end of this year. I’m one of the many fans of UVA and so this thread is for all prospective UVA applicants to share their info. I’m sure there are plenty of brothers, sisters, and friends of UVA students who would be willing to give some insight to who has or hasn’t gotten in with their credentials.</p>
<p>This thread doesn’t have to be limited to just UVA. It’s be great to hear about other schools in VA or schools similar to UVA.</p>
