yeah i think you got it. My father is an alumnus, so i know many people who go to/went to UVA and a sizeable number of them had similar SAT scores. Courseload is good. When i visited the University, i talked to a representative of the alumni association who, while not a dean of admissions, knows the deans very well and talks with them about the admissions process alot.

She says the only time the SAT raises a red flag is if any of the three scores start with a 5. She also said the deans like to see applicants in the top 5% of their class, this might be your only problem.

GPA seems ok, she didn’t really talk about GPA that much.

EC’s look good, i am also and eagle scout; and UVA puts a sizeable amount of weight on that.

All things considered, including that you’re in-state; i doubt the rank would be enough to completely override everything else about your app and deny you, i would feel confident.
