I have around a high GPA, around a 4.3 or 4.4. I’m in top 10% of my class. I do a few extracurricular activities, and I’m in a officer position for two of those clubs. I’m a part of national honor society and science national honor society as well. I also have around 150 volunteer service hours. My SAT is around a 1900. In college I want to do some kind of STEM field. I know that no one could know for sure but what do you guys think are my chances for UVA?
Same as the thousands of applicants who have resumes just like yours. And if you are OOS, make that tens of thousands. You said it yourself, no one here can predict your chances. Just apply.
To get into top tier institutions like UVA people have told me you have to have it all… grades, scores, and ECs. Your academic portfolio sounds promising but its more than numbers. Killer essays and ECs to show how you are different that everyone else
Courses and grades are more important than a GPA.
A long list of ECs is not necessary. Do a few things you like.
