Course rigor matters a lot too. A 3.5 with a full IB diploma or a ton of AP classes can beat a 4.0 of regular level classes.

I graduated from VT ~10 years ago. I don’t think I would have been admitted these days from my FCPS HS. Honestly, I don’t think I ever worried about getting in. I really feel for kids today.

Me too! Those are really low numbers.


Me too. I'm one of the first posters whose son got 650 math and 740 verbal. His ACT was 33. I honestly don't know his exact GPA...probably slightly lower than 3.2

I’ve seen some pretty surprising rejections of high stats students on college confidential. Kids you would assume would be admitted to VA Tech and UVA. Hope they get in somewhere even better!

If you go here, to CollegeConfidential, the results posted by parents and students start about page 27. https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/virginia-tech/2048435-virginia-tech-regular-decision-thread-p27.html

UVA results are out already?


Early action I'm guessing.

If you try for engineering, you’d better have the goods.
