[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The average WEIGHTED GPA of a freshman enigneering student is 4.26.

The average SAT Math of a freshman engineering student is 690.

With AP and Honors classes, having a 4.26 is not uncommon.

Most high schools in Fairfax County have 25% of their class above a 4.0[/quote]

THIS. 690 as an AVG SAT math come on. VT is not a top engineering program for the best and brightest. They take plenty of above average kids. 4.26 weighted with standard weighting in VA is the middle of the college-bound high schoolers, maybe slightly above. Dean J and others have gone on record that there are high schools in VA with OVER 70% of the graduating class with over 4. WEIGHTED. I know she is UVA, but it is true. Our median is 4.25-4.3, the HS across town with similar weighting is 4.1 median. These kids have 3.7-3.9 unweighted. These are typical suburban public schools where the VT admissions are from the top 3 deciles, a few are lower. The top group goes elsewhere. VT even for engineering is NOT a hard admit. UVA is harder, but still NOT a hard admit. MIT/Ivies/JHU/Northwestern/Duke are hard to get into for Engineering. That is where top Engineering talent in VA goes[/quote]
