To get in here, I performed well in high school. Do well on your SAT, participate in extracirricular activities, take hard classes, and get a good GPA. There is no magic here. You will know if you can get in or not. If you have a low GPA, or even a good one with easy classes, you know you're borderline. I'd say look to your class ranking for your chances of getting in. Gotta be top 10%, probably higher. If you're below that, that does not count you out from getting in. But, you better have some extracirricular activities to help you out, as well as a good SAT score, and overall you just can't count on getting in unless you know you have a good overall package.

I was a leader in my community and school. Although my SATs were lacking (barely 1200), my super high GPA and A+s in many subjects (wasn't easy!) Helped ALOT. Also, write some GOOD essays and be creative.- although, if you're coming here for engineering, forget it and go to VT. It's not worth it here..

There is no one sure-fire method of getting into the school, but as long as you have an earnest effort in getting good grades in high school and also join extracurricular activities, you have a strong chance of getting in. What I think the Admissions Office looks for in potential first years are people who are open to what the world has to offer and who exhibit the greatest potential in becoming well-rounded individuals taking active roles in bettering society as a whole.

Work really hard in high school, ESPECIALLY if you're out of state or from NOVA/Richmond/Hampton Roads area. Make sure you're involved and a well rounded student.
