10-pt grading scales (+/- used) A= 4.0, A-= 3.7, B+= 3.3, B= 3.0, B = 2.7, etc.

87- 89 = B+ 83-86 = B 80-82 = B-
ACT = 28 (English 30, Math 28, Reading 28, Science 25) I know Tech only looks at English and Math

<p>Thinking either Biology, or Education or Undecided. Any thoughts on chances? Given the website does not list average UW GPA or ACT looking to see if I am competitive with others who have been admitted. Thanks for any information or thoughts.</p>

<p>If you look at the website you can find the [Freshman</a> Snapshot](<a href=“http://www.admiss.vt.edu/apply/freshman-snapshot/]Freshman”>http://www.admiss.vt.edu/apply/freshman-snapshot/) and that has some of the information you’re looking for. I believe admissions converts ACT scores into SAT equivalents, so you’ll want to try and figure that out to compare scores.</p>

<p>Your class rank would be helpful in determining how much of a chance you have. Classes like Fashion Mktg and PE might put you at a bit of a disadvantage, considering other students take other APs rather than electives like those, but besides that your course loads looks pretty rigorous and you have a decent GPA.</p>
