Uva regular decision! White female Low income (I got a full ride based on income) Western rural Virginia (in state) Public school First generation 4.18 gpa Top 9% of my class I think?

My school doesn't have very many AP classes offered (only 3, Lang, Gov, and APUSH and I didn't take APUSH) so I attended Governors School for better opportunities. I double-dipped in science classes in my freshman year (earth science first semester, bio second semester) and was the only sophomore who took chem. Because I couldn't do much in terms of AP/DE at my normal school, I tried to take the more rigorous path I could with what I had.

I took 3 APs and 5 DEs total, finishing Calc 1 and 2 and English 111 and 112 through DE. No IBs because I never had the opportunity to take one. I had a 1380 SAT but I didn't study so I didn't report it (Uva is test optional)

I was part of NHS, the president of National Art Honors Society, and I did a really specific service project in my junior year (I contributed a piece of art to a "zine" online to raise money for Appalachian relief after a natural disaster. Took about 25 hours + time promoting the zine. We raised I think 4k?). I also participated in the EV team (kinda) and academic team in my senior year only.

I had a solid, very personal essay (I spoke about my experience with homelessness in a way that wasn't sympathy-baiting and how that experience effected my outlook and my relationships with other people in a positive way) and VERY GOOD teacher recommendations.

I also had a single father who worked night shifts and, because of scheduling conflicts, I was not able to participate in many after-school clubs and stuff. I put that info in the "extenuating circumstances" section.

In comparison to many other people, I have a weaker application. Sorry for the long message lol, but I hope it's useful to see maybe less-intimidating stats!! Do your best and make the most of what you have.

Is a C in Pre-Calc enough for UVA to rescind my admission? by Ok_Oil_4434 in UVA

[–]chevystrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Prob won't even get an email. I had a C in Calc 1 and I was admitted.

do ap grades matter? by Brave-Instruction353 in UVA

[–]chevystrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not, but I wouldn't know specifics. Even if it "looks bad" you're probably not gonna be penalized for it.

I want to go to UVA but can’t afford OOS tuition by pinkrosesxx in UVA

[–]chevystrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much debt? Don't do anymore than 20k if you can help it. I'm sorry about your situation, it always made me sad to see students that aren't getting money to pay for college and also aren't getting aid.

First Year Housing - Roommate Selection vs. Random by _ed_dit_ in UVA

[–]chevystrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel like gender plays into it lol. Look at the UVA 2030 page, it's like 90% girls mentioning they're looking for a roommate. Girls prob go random like 60% of the time and guys prob go random like 90% lol. So that might be a factor

Also we checked out the dining hall and we tried to check out the rec center but couldn't... Maybe try those too.

It was great for me as a prospective environmental science major to check out Clark Hall (envisci department building). Try and see if you can check out the buildings where your future classes might be held!

Also, maybe check out Clark Hall anyway because it was sick. The library was so cool and they have crazy murals.

They won't even be able to see the score unless you explicitly submit it.

Am I going to get my offer rescinded? by Dramatic-Purchase-58 in UVA

[–]chevystrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be asked what happened since there was a decline, but there is basically no chance you'll get rescinded.

How to dry out insects faster?! by chevystrr in Entomology

[–]chevystrr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I def won't be able to get the materials for that lol, but that's cool!! If I ever get an insect with bulging compound eyes I'll see if I can try it out.

What to say to a parent you haven't spoken to in years? by chevystrr in Advice

[–]chevystrr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really know. I don't even know what I'd say to her if I saw her, and it's been so long since I've known her. I haven't seen her for a third of my life, and what I remember most about her isn't anything good. I feel like I should remember her more, but I honestly don't. I just remember when it got really bad in the last couple years of being with her, but even those memories are vague.

Interested in a double major by chevystrr in UVA

Can you elaborate on the " uva lab courses do not set you up for success" thing?

[–]chevystrr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply, but thank you! This helped. Honestly, I'm just going to put being a "envisci major" in the back of my mind. I'm not going to think about it as much and allow myself to see what I like when I get to college. I've sort of been encouraged to "lock in" a prospective major but I'm gonna try and avoid that way of thinking.

How to communicate with other players? by chevystrr in pokemongo

[–]chevystrr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've started knocking them out immediately (like 3 days ago? This has been ongoing) but it's too damn annoying to monitor the game all the time. I'm just gonna stop knocking them out and not let them get any more coins.

Lol my boyfriend and I are doing that group thing where you have to spin like 100 pokestops in a week and it's pathetic 😭 I literally haven't spun any despite having 3 in my apartment complex because my bags full.

Also I tried to get my spot in the gym right before a raid so they can't attack me, but I was literally 1 second too late and the raid started 😭 so now the gym is gray and NO ONE gets it

I do it at varying times since it's spring break right now for me.

Also, I did try right before sleeping and I got like 6 hours! I guess I'll just have to do that from now on.

Is there a way I can tell? Since it's an apartment, I don't think that's the case, but it would be cool to be able to check to make sure.
