Target: Awesome in-state school. Not exactly my top choice as far as location goes, but I'd have no qualms about going there if out-of-state is out-of-the-question

Jefferson Scholarship Nominee (UVA Full Scholarship); Likely Letter!
March 8 2010
Likely letter. Nestled up in the mountains, UVa is breathtaking. I know that I'd love living in the shadow of Jefferson.
And it has the best Study Abroad options in the country!

I prob shoulda applied here, has a great environment, but being OOS w/ a bad gpa for a public school is a kiss of death for UVA. but still, uvas more a liberal arts type place, not so much sciency, dont know if parents woulda been willing to throw the dough here. But the social scene is everything you could want, if your more a humanities type, this could really be your school

First choice.
According to the tracker, if I applied twice, I'd only get in once. So UVa's probably better off flipping a coin to decide on me. Classic.
