So I’m applying to Virginia Tech for fall 2016. I have a 3.3 at the moment but my grades will probably drop bc earlier this semester I lost a friend and lost a lot of motivation bc of it. My grades drop bc of this. I got A’s and B’s my first two semesters but this semester I’m probably going to get 3 B’s and 1 D in chemistry. But chemistry isn’t part of my major though. I’m getting my associates from a CC this spring. Are my chances ruined bc of that D. Should I explain what happened?
One D cannot RUIN your chances. If your loss affected you deeply, then you should mention it anyway, and how you had to deal with it and overcome it (and why u got a D).
So I applied to tech for fall 2016, and Im a little worried about my stats because I didnt get in last year and Im coming from a private 4 year college and Im a political science major. Also, im confused as to if we have to send ap scores and sat scores. here are my stats!
HS GPA: 3.3
College GPA: 3.64
Courses taken: English 1105/1106, Math Stat 2004 and Math 1525 Geology 101/102. Ive also taken PSCI 201 and 202 along with International Relations. Ive also finished my required language (French) and taken some random history and philosophy classes.
Extra Curriculurs: Im in a sorority and involved in multiple clubs. I have lots of volunteer hours, a summer job, and an internship at the state capital.
I also heard that by receiving the email about financial aid Im being considered, is that true? and anyone know when i might find out? Ive heard first week of march but last year i didnt find out until the end of april
