I can’t speak to VT, but 33 ACT converts to a 1460 SAT, roughly - the range is 1450-1480. A 34 converts to a 1500 and 35 is a 1540. Just want to clarify in case folks are relying on data.


According to Princeton Review, a 33 ACT converts to a 1490-1510 SAT. But, not worth arguing over.

Are you a Virginia resident family? Just curious because my DC has a 3.6 un-weighted and 1450 SAT (from a DC private) and is hoping there might be a shot at VT? And I wouldn't mind the tuition.


Yes. We live in northern VA. But she applied to a small program. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Also - DC is not interested in Engineering. Undecided...

We need more information? Are you from VA? Public or private?

They ain’t getting in. This is awful


It's not that awful. For engineering no, but maybe something else. And if something else is the case maybe JMU would be better choice.

I’m assuming this is not engineering. Even then, weighted GPA? Nope. Maybe consider CNU or UMW. Or VCU for a large school.

3.7 weighted? No chance either way.
