I am trying to work with UVA on getting an acceptance letter. UVA has ranked as the #1 or #2 best public school in the country since they started the ranking. It's a very hard school to get in to. My HS grades were horrible and they don't like that. They said I should look for other selectees who have gotten in to good schools so they have something to compare to.
Think any of you guys can help out?
Somehow I think that what I've accomplished in the past 4 years in the real world outweighs the 4 years i spent in highschool goofing off and playing sports. I just need to figure out how to convey that to the selection board and that's why I'm looking for some help. Thanks.
Edit: More info:
SAT - 1350
Math - 640
Verbal - 710
I can take SAT again and get better scores if necessary.
A-School, NPS - 3.3 GPA
NPTU - 3.1 GPA, class standing 8/93, rate standing 1/20
College Courses: Excelsior College
Foundations in Technology Problem Solving I (Calc I) - 97% A
" " " " II (Calc II) - ~85% B
Information Literacy - Pass
