like canuck said, it depends upon the person. Some people I know go to frats thurs, fri, sat, every week and enjoy themselves thoroughly. some people went once and never went back. for me, I think it depends upon the frat. I only go to frats if there's a band playing/there's some big event (like the rocket party or heaven and hell or 7 deadly sins, etc) or if there's nothing else that weekend. Most 1st years go to sigma pi so if...

Think logically, if you're trying to sell yourself to a school, why would you purposely not do something as simple as sending in a transcript?

If someone doesn't complete their application, we "force complete" them (not a term used at UVa, but one in fairly common use in college admission).

also another thing to no is that my grading scale is really hard with an A starting at 94, Bplus 90-94 and B 84-90

By the way, you still have a chance for Jefferson Scholarship competition. Thoug the majority of the contestants are nominated by their HS, they do invite a few from the general application population to compete for the scholarship based on the strength of the submitted application. As you probably know, Jefferson Scholarship is a full ride scholarship, and in my opinion, the most prestigious full ride scholarship out there. Who knows, you may...
