If you are going to ■■■■■ with a rate me thread, then I believe it should go in another section of CC…

As a note for anyone else who happens to read this: in my experience (as an in-state student) people with an average amount of ECs, with a pretty good essay and recs, who have taken fairly difficult high school courses, and who are in the top 10% of their graduating class are typically admitted.

@WahooAS2021 Sorry I didn’t want to make anyone angry with a rate me. Just in my experience whenever I have posted in the Chance me section if it is for one particular school it gets moved to that school’s section. In addition I saw someone literally right under me post a rate me before I posted which s actually what made me decide I wanted to post, just so could prepare myself for results. Sorry you didn’t like this thread, I would delete it but its not allowed on here so… ya

@daththiccboi Yesterday Dean J posted admission stats for the UVA 2022 early action admits on the UVA admission blog (google “Notes from Peabody” and you will find it). They are broken down by in-state and OOS. They use a holistic admission process, so grades/stats are just one side of the story - but based on what she has posted and what you identify above, it seems like you are a good fit as an OOS in terms of rank and scores. What you can’t learn from the stats is how many people with high SAT/ACT scores and good grades/ECs end up rejected. From the this week’s UVA accepted threads here, it seems that plenty of very good OOS HS students didn’t get the answer they were hoping for.
