GMU is certainly more selective - 58% to VT 70%[/quote]

There was an article in the local paper recently about GM having the largest incoming freshman class ever.  The article also said the average GPA of the class was 3.6.  I don't know if that's weighted or unweighted but, either way, that doesn't seem too high.  If it's weighted, that is seriously low.  I'm curious, what is the average GPA of VT class?  I'm curious since it has a higher acceptance rate.[/quote]

Didn't go to either school, but I found this question interesting.

They don't report average GPA of entering students, but the average GPA of accepted students had the following range: Middle 50% GPA of students offered admission: 3.84-4.27

I saw on another site that the average GPA of entering freshmen was 3.93; seems reasonable based on the reported range.  I'm sure GMU reports a weighted GPA as well.

The kids applying to GMU have significant lower grades and SAT scores than kids applying to VT. That's a much better indication of selectivity than the percentage of admitted students.  Based on the scores/GPAs a large number of GMU kids wouldn't get into VT.[/quote]
