Hello, I am an approaching senior in high school and, thus far, University of Virginia is my top choice when it comes to colleges (since I can’t imagine going anywhere else). I am a Virginia resident, which I hear increases my chances of getting in since UVA tends to favor in-state students, but I am not relying upon it.

Here are my stats:
8th grade:
Algebra 1- A
French 1- A

Freshman year-
Pre-AP English 9- A
Pre-AP Biology- A
Pre-AP World History- A
Phys. Ed.- A
Pre-AP French II- A
Nutrition & Wellness- A
Pre-AP Geometry- A

Sophomore year-
Pre-AP English 10- A
Pre-AP Chemistry- A
AP European History- A
Phys. Ed. and Driving- A
Pre-AP French III- A
Adv. Earth Science - A
Pre-AP Algebra II/Trig.- B+

Junior Year-
AP English Lang. & Comp.- A
Functions Trig. - A (not an AP, but weighted like one)
AP Biology-A
AP United States History-A
Anatomy & Physiology-A
Forensics-A
Pre-AP French IV- A
Computer Applications- A

Class rank- 18 out of 717
GPA- I haven’t seen my end of year transcript yet, but I think my weighted is a 4.3 and unweighted is a 3.97, but I may be off.

AP Scores- Euro.-4, U.S. history- 5, Lang. & Comp.-5, Biology-4
ACT + Writing- 32
SAT (which I am going to take again in October to get about a 2100)- 1980
I will take SAT subject tests in Biology and U.S. history in November.

My schedule next year will consist of: AP Chemistry & Lab, AP Calculus AB, AP U.S. Government, Pre-AP French V, English 12, SOL-Based Physics

I have been on my Varsity Girls Tennis team for the past 3 years (plan to continue senior year). I am also in National Honor Society, French Honor Society (member and secretary), and Model United Nations. My school also offers the Biotechnology program, which I am a part of, and I have 90+ hours at the animal shelter.

If accepted, I plan to major in Biology and minor in History, while being on the pre-med track.

Thank you for reading this exceptionally long post (sorry), and I look forward to reading any comments.
