What about GPA?

4.4 weighted

4.5 weighted

This is all so moot because there is such a wide range of test scores and GPA's that might get a student admitted. What IS very important is the merit money that UM provides for students with a COMBINATION of good test scores and high GPA's. My son got into Richmond and UM to name couple. In spite of a 33 ACT and a 4.4 GPA, Richmond did not provide any merit money while UM offered a substantial amount. This made his decision rather easy! Go Canes!

Depends on your projected major. I would recommend taking physics only because having a background in the subject helped me tons during my first semester.

Physics. It looks better.

Well, what would you prefer to major in for college?

Environmental if you plan on majoring in environmental studies, biology or something similar. Physics if you are planning on a math major or something similar. It is really up to you!

Business/law. So I don't really need either for my major. which would look better on a transcript?

I found physics to be really useful in life...however in my school environmental is regarded as a joke. SO I am a little biased toward physics. But it is up to you

Physics is one of those basic sciences anyway. You are probably going to need to know it at some point during college. I would go with physics.

Take spanish so you can possibly exempt out of the language requirement (if you will be in the college at UVA) and then you have more freedom to take marketing/business/law classes at UVA

yes, colleges expect most applicants to take calculus

College Admissions Officers will tell you to do really well in AP's.

As long as you maintain a B- or better, AP is the better choice in my opinion. Depends on what you want to major in as well. Honors Chem is better than AP Art History for a science major.

Its amazing. It was 3 on princeton review.

2200+/33+ is good, but your SAT score can't get you in alone. you also need a good GPA- about a 3.8 unweighted or a 4.1 weighted- and good extracurriculars.

thank u!

but those are just the numbers you need to be really safe... if you're lower you can still get in.

I was just recently accepted with a 32 ACT and 4.1277 GPA (before first semester this year).

accepted with a 34 ACT 800 on SAT MATH II and 3.92 GPA unweighted

accepted with a 30 ACT and 3.7 GPA unweighted

accepted with 35 ACT, 2330 SAT, and 4.0 unweighted

my bro got in with 1960 SAT, about 3.8 weighted (3.5 UW), and played a sport on junior varsity and varsity for all four years. He had two subject tests, both above 650
