<p>Well, you're extra-curriculars and ethnicity certainly help. Alot. The test scores and GPA are a little low, but not in the "No Chance" range. Taking IB and honors helps, and being in-state won't hurt. If you have any intrest in going it is certainly worth the $45 to apply, but make sure you also apply other places. You have a decent chance to get it, but it is not a lock.</p>

<p>thnx for the info/help.</p>

<p>You have an excellent chance of getting in, especially if you're not applying to the engineering school. Even without the urm "boost" I'd say that you're an extremely solid applicant with an excellent chance of getting in. Your numbers are on par with those of the overall pool of accepted students.</p>

<p>Oh, didn't see that you weren't going Engineering. Your numbers look alot better now. Still, VERY few people are locks, so I'd apply to more than just VT. Are you required to give an essay/recommendations just for admission? I didn't, but I applied ED, so it might be different.</p>

<p>i gave an essay even tho it was optional, but i didnt give an extra recommendation, which the gc advised that i didnt really need to other then the one he gave., thnx for ur help guys, appreciate it much. yea i've applied to plenty of skools.</p>

<p>your sat is low, but some of my white friends got in with scores like that. your ec's will h elp you, but still no guarantee.</p>
