If you need to go instate, but can't make UVA or VT, then do it.

It's harder to get into W&M then VT.[/quote]

not for CS.[/quote]

True.  My friend's kid got into WM for CS, but was waitlisted at VT and rejected at UVA.

4.5gpa female, varsity bball, went to a "diverse" NOVA public school.  [/quote]

Damn my daughter doesn't stand a chance at VT for CS. 4.3 GPA, no scores, Varsity sports, and diverse NOVA public. [/quote]

she stands a small chance, but if she hasn’t applied EA then it’s even smaller.  No scores is the real killer with that GPA. we were told that Eng likes to see at least a 750 for math out of NoVA kids. [/quote]

What about ACT math for NoVA kids[/quote]

You’d want a 35 to correspond to the 750.  My kid went to TJ, and at the info session, they said they wanted to see an A in BC (even if that’s midterm senior year). That’s a heavy lift and a TJ and I know a kid who got into VT with a B in BC from TJ. But it was a female applicant with a lot going for her in things like applied research. [/quote]

Not so sure if that is true. My son got into VT MechEng (very completive there) and he had a B+ in AP Calc, 5 on the Exam and then his Junior Year took MultiVariable Calc DE and got an A. He basically ran out of math classes at that point (except the softball of Stats) and had no issues getting in. His GPA was also 4.11 (end of junior year, but 4.3 upon graduation). Not terribly impressive, but I think his math rigor is what got him in.[/quote]
