Applying to Virginia Tech

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am currently in the process of applying to Virginia Tech's HNFE school and just had a few questions reguarding how competitive the program was, etc. </p>

<p>I know obviously that getting into VT is no walk in the park, but i am just starting the fourth semester here at the community college where i live and am beginning to apply to VT and possibly a few other schools. I currently have a 3.5 GPA. I would be the first generation in my family going off to a four year school. </p>

<p>My question though is that i still have one more math, and one more chemistry left to take. Im taking the math in the summer reguardless whether or not i get in, but that would still leave me being one class short of my associates, and of course it has to be one of the most important classes...So i guess im just wondering if this is enough for the board to deny my acceptance since im still two classes shy of my associates degree. Two pretty important classes at the least. Im kind of kicking myself in the butt right now. </p>

<p>All replys are much appreciated.</p>

<p>I have the same problem as you!
I also go to community college and is my last semester here as well.</p>

<p>I applied to Tech last year, (didn’t had freshman year of math and science)
with gpa of 3.76 but didn’t get in. The reason was because the major I applied to was very competive and very limited seats. Moreover, I found out that I needed to complete at least freshman year of English, Math, and Science.</p>

<p>My major in my school doesn’t require science. So, I didn’t take any.
However, as I tried to follow my curriculum to graduate this may, I also tried to take
freshman level of English and Math. But still couldn’t fit my schedule to take any science…</p>

<p>I’m going to give it an another shot this year without freshman level of science.
hopefully they will take me. :(</p>

<p>I definitely think it would be difficult without those classes, but you are allowed to submit explanations with your transcript. I would explain why you haven’t taken them and that should increase their understand, hopefully. Good luck!</p>
