I never did good in high school and it is very competitive to get in. The average GPA and SAT scores are high. Knowing I wouldn't get in strait from high school, I went to community college for my first year and made a 4.0. I knew I wanted to go to tech and become an architect so i wasn't about to give up. I transfered in and have been a successful student here. My adviece to any perspective students is to do really good in high school and if its too late for that then dont give up... you can do what I did and transfer in and trust me it was worth it.

Keep your grades up (A/B+ avg.) and take as many AP/Honors classes as you are able to do well in. Prepare for the ACT/SATs. VT is very numbers oriented.

Keep a high GPA. It's harder to get in every year. I think they want at least a 3.6-3.7 nowadays as a minimum!

From a rejection letter a read from a student that got rejected for the fall 05 enrollment. I believe it said the average acceptance GPA was 3.81 and average SAT was 1260. But be careful, because next year it will prob be like 3.9 and 1300, So study hard and take those APs!!

Get a GPA above 3.5 or maybe even 3.9 if you plan on getting into engineering. Also SAT above 1250 or above 1400 for engineering won't hurt either. AP credits look good as well. Good luck.
