That said, I recommend that you create a diverse college list and not focus on just one school. You don't want to put all of your eggs in one basket. Speak with your guidance counselor and have an honest conversation about your college options given your grades, rigor of courses taken in high school, extra-curricular involvement, etc. If you want to learn more about the accepted student profile of UVA students, contact the University's admission office. If your high school has Naviance (software program), you can also check the statistics of graduates from your high school and what credentials students had who matriculated to UVA. Lastly, your grades in 12th grade do matter to colleges so keep them up as much as you can. For additional information, please contact Mindy Popp at Popp & Associates, an educational consulting firm in Boston, MA. mpopp{at}poppandassociates{dot}com. http://www.poppandassociates.com.

Whether your scores were in the 600's or 700's my answer would be the same -- yes, you can improve your scores. By how much depends how much effort you can put toward learning and applying the strategies. Judging by your academic and extracurricular success, I'd guess you have a lot of motivation. Start with my e-tips and explore options from there. Regarding admissions to UVA, I'll have someone with more experience there weigh in. Regards, Jason Rachel,

I pretty much slacked freshman and sophmore year and only took adv. classes in sophmore year, I tried in junior year and took ap bio instead of ap eng. I heard that not taking ap eng severely hurts your chances in getting into UVA. One of my friends got accepted in to william and mary but not UVA and this was because he didn not take ap eng. I was planing on taking ap eng ap gov, ap environ., ap calc ab, and ap physics. I know this will probably ruin my senior year but I want to take anything that I can that will hopefully help my chances. I also heard that colleges do not look at senior year but is there a chance that I will make it to UVA with a current overall gpa of 4.1 weighted? It seems that no matter how hard I try, I cannot raise my overall gpa because of my freshman year. I am in a ton of extracurriculars the most importat being, MUN and the Peninsula korean youth orchestra. I am also in spanish honor society, and going to go into national honor society, I also play lacrosse, Is it possible for me to still have a chance at UVA? and Is it possible to raise my sat scores? My senior friends have been getting into carnegie mellon and MIT and this just discourages me further seeing how their academic history is far more instense than mine. Hi Jason,
The past march sat, I got a
720- reading
740- math
750- writing
This is actually the best scores out of the 3 I have taken so far,
I am barely in the top 10 % of my class of 310,
I am trying to keep up with my workload, but it seems impossible seeing as how ap subject tests, and ap exams are coming up quickly.
I pretty much slacked freshman and sophmore year and only took adv. classes in sophmore year,
I tried in junior year and took ap bio instead of ap eng.

Is it possible for me to still have a chance at UVA? and Is it possible to raise my sat scores?

Athena -- You should consult a high school counselor, public or private, if you want an official answer. I just help students get their scores higher! In my non-pro opinion though, I see no reason to keep them. They're only going up from here and scores at this age will not qualify for any merit scholarships. Just keep a paper copy for fun because they're something to be proud of! Regards, Jason Nika — I sent you an email.

I'm Nika from North Carolina, I need major advice on getting my SAT scores higher. I am a junior and I've taken the SAT once. It was horrible! Critical Reading-390, Math-400, Writing-440. I really want to improve in all sections of the test. I take it again May 1st, can you please assist me? I need help, like everyone else, this test is stressful and I'm worried I won't get accepted into a good university. Hello!

He scored 770 in Math, 640 in critical reading and 660 in writing. The total is 2070. And I just found out that his scores will be deleted in 6 month because of his age unless we place a request to keep them. Should we keep the scores? What's the impact if we keep them? Thanks! Hi,
