What are my Chances

Colleges & Universities University of Virginia

I am a Junior in highschool and a prospective student. I would like to know what you think my chances are for acceptance into the school

I am in the top 10% of my class, and my GPA is a 3.92

My SAT Score is an 1860 (Lower than the Midrange)

My EC activities hopefully make up for a bit of lacking test scores

I have been president of Student Government each year I’ve been in high school and I was elected executive board president for next year

I was elected FBLA President for next year

I have been admitted into Peer Leadership for next year (a very difficult feat),

I am a Varsity Tennis and Soccer Player and a candidate for Tennis Captain next year

I have 800+ service hours and I have been a member of the Red Cross Youth Group since freshman year

I have taken AP Calculus and APUSH, I expect to get atleast a 3 on the calculus exam and atleast a 4 on the APUSH, if not a 5

I am also a member of an International Business Alliance Program through Leadership Initiatives in Washington D.C. where I am partnered with a Nigerian Business. Our Group comes up with business plans and solutions to help our partner’s business grow. I am also the fundraising coordinator of the club and I am required to create fundraising solutions to earn 5000 each year which I have been successful with.

With all of this information, do you think my chances are significant enough to consider UVA a reach school, or are my chances simply too minuscule with my lacking test scores?

GPA and rank aren’t standardized. Taking two AP courses doesn’t provide any context about your school and what is normal there. No one would assess your academic preparation with such limited information.

Remember that academics are much more important than activities. Your school will send us a high school profile that lays out the program in place, how grading works, and their methodology for calculating statistics like GPA and rank. Only when we see this with your official transcript and your formal application can we make an assessment.
