So my GPA is about .1 below their requirement but when I talked to an admissions rep with VCU, she said that they will still consider me even if I have that GPA. Does anyone know anyone who has got accepted with not meeting that “requirement”? Also if the only reason my GPA is low is because of one year’s(10th grade was a full 1.0 point lower than every other year’s GPA) will they take that in consideration. I also have a few really good leadership experience from extracurriculars and took 5 APs total and dual enrollment classes. My superscore was 1350 with 610 in verbal and 740 in math.
Anyone accepted in Honors College without meeting "requirements"? Also Chance me for Honors College?
Also on VCU’s Honors College website, it says “Students who do not meet these criteria but feel an exception should be made remain eligible to apply as other components of the application (extracurricular, honors, leadership, etc.) may offset the lower quantitative scores.”
And is your major taken into account when they do this? My major is statistics and I feel like that might give me a lower chance.
