VT MAYBE, but the business school only admit 20% and you need to be in above 93% for math SAT. They don’t care much about English scores.

For VT, do you apply straight to the business school with your initial application, or do you get into VT and then apply to the business school? How does it work? Thanks!

You must apply to the business school with initial application.

Thanks for the quick reply. And if they are rejected by business school, does that mean they are outright rejected? Or can you be rejected by business and accepted as something else?

Sorry if these are stupid questions. I was not a business major, but I recall that at my school, business school prospects didn't apply to the business school intil the end of freshman year, or something like that. some got in, others defaulted to another major, and I assume others who didn't get in transferred out.

WM favors male applicants and strongly favors ED with demonstrated interest. I think OP’s kid has a 50/50 chance or better in ED at WM assuming an interview, full senior year visit on whatever the day is that they set aside for prospective business majors and a strong supplemental essay. But a lot depends on rigor, where the Bs are, ECs, personal statement, recs, etc. I don’t see it in RD. If your kid try’s, make sure they know 1st semester senior gradesj will count for a lot.

Can we see the underlying math for how you got 50/50 odds?

Your kid will get into all of those schools.

It's worth applying to UVA. I know a 1580 (NMS), 4.3 GPA rejected ED to UVA, so you never know. But I'd say confident yes to W&M and VT.

What?

Untrue

This is a confirmed fact. Final GPA for statistical reporting is all that is submitted for CDS.

Then you can say "for the CDS" but NOT for "all" the published GPAs. There's another thread right now that lists the EA stats for first round admits at Auburn - those are NOT final GPA's, obviously only junior year GPAs. Many many other schools tout the GPA's for their new admits long before their senior year is over.

Yea but even Auburn will submit their CDS when final numbers come in. The CDS is what’s used for all kids of statistics that are pushed out there.
