[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]DD is in a VT (not her first choice) with 3.9 unweighted GPA, 33 ACT, 1390 SAT, intended major BioChem.  And if it matters, she's white, not a legacy, and from VA.

Her best friend is also in a VT (her first choice) as an intended English - Creative Writing major with a 3.3 unweighted GPA and 26 ACT.  Best friend is white and also, obviously, from VA.  She also has two older siblings who went to VT, but over 8 & 10 years ago.      [/quote[/b]]

We're talking about this year's admissions.  There was a significant drop due to number of applications.  The counselors were warned of it in advance.[/quote]

P[b]P is talking about this year.[/quote][/b]

No, she's talking about a current student already in VT unless I'm misreading the "a" to be "ats" and she means current.  Maybe not for engineering.  Go read the stats of the reports for accepted, WL and denied on college confidential.  The Schev reports don't lie.  Incoming class at V Tech this past fall was 4.21/4.00/3.78.[/quote]

I'm talking about this year.  I typed a instead of at as you said.  DD and her best friend are both HS seniors.  I was making a point of what someone else said earlier that certain majors/schools are admitting kids with lower than the 4.0, 1580, 35 scores.

I don't believe her friend with a 3.3 GPA and 26 ACT (didn't take SAT) would get into a math/science/engineering program at VT.  This girl's sister who graduated undergrad and graduate from VT in Psychology was telling her not to get her hopes up because her stats weren't amazing.  I think it helped that her intended major is in the humanities.

Sorry I wasn't clear.      [/quote]
