thanks, man i really wish dec scores came out earlier. do you think the no gpa puts me at an advantage since unlike their usual ED applicant i won't have a low-ish (definitely no offense to the splitters, if I had a GPA I'd be one too) to go along with it?

I am international applicant myself, "above average" as well.

I do not think our non-reportable GPAs put us at an advantage, especially when it is "above average". It is pretty neutral in my opinion.

Good luck to you too. I would put a couple of really strong essays together and aim for Michigan, Georgetown and Cornell. Time is ticking. UVa is unpredictable (or predictable in a pessimistic way) this cycle.
