What are my chances of getting into UVA Engineering?
(Class of 2017) I am just now finishing up my junior year with all As, taking 3 AP classes (Calc AB, English, and Physics). I took the AP test in all three and am confident I at least got a 5 in Calc. Next year I am taking five AP classes (Gov, Physics 2, English, Calc BC, Stats). So I've had a rigorous schedule. I've only had one B through high school (in 10th grade English :/), making my GPA a 4.4 (3.95 unweighted). My ACT score wasn't too good however as I got a 24 (29 in math but 17 in English), but I just took the new sat and got a 1240 which I would definitely show them instead. I play varsity football, basketball, track, and participate in band, beta, NHS, young life, FCA, and math club. With my good grades and extracurriculars, but low sat scores, what would my chances be of getting into UVA engineering? Or VT or any good engineering school?

Well, excellent grades and other assets can compensate for problematic test scores, so I'd say you have a shot. A 5 in Physics as well as Calculus would help, though.
Does UVA require that you apply specifically and directly to the Engineering program? If so, the standards are going to be higher. You might consider taking the SAT again. I'm assuming your math score was somewhere in the 600s? It would be nice if you could get it over 700.
