[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Kids with B+ in math classes below BC Calc were told by VT they might have tough time getting into VT Engineering this year. [/quote] [b]I doubt VT "told" them this. [/quote][/b] We were told that. In person. At VT. Also, at visitation day for the engineering school. The admin. showed the profile of student applications who were accepted. 4.0 (obviously weighted) was the absolute minimum for engineering (other schools can be lower, although architecture and the undergrad vet program are also difficult to get into). We talked in person with an admissions rep. who told us that for engineering, which is what DD wanted at the time, VT wants to see calculus done with an "A". The reason is obvious: VT wants the engineering students to hit the ground running. They don't want to spend time and money running remedial calculus classes - hence the math lab. I think you will find this is true for most engineering programs, GMU included.[/quote]
