Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello everybody, i'm currently a junior in high school and I've decided that i would like to go to Virginia Tech, but i'm not sure if i can get in. Could anyone give me an idea of my chances? My cumulative gpa at the end of junior year will be around a 3.65 weighted (i know, not so good). By the end of my first semester of senior year it should be at least 3.8 weighted overall. </p>

<p>The AP's i will have taken by the end of high school are:
AP US history:A-
AP world history: A-
AP calc AB:A-
AP chemisry: D (yeah, it's aweful) </p>

<p>will take senior year-
AP stat:
AP environmental science:
AP Gov:
AP calc BC</p>

<ul>
<li>along with the rest of my core classes being honors.
SAT: 1920
CR: 550
Math:720
Wr: 650</li>
</ul>

<p>As for extracurriculars i've been in marching band all 4 years, ive made all-district band every year, made 7th chair in the all-state band, soccer for 2 years, and i'm in a few small clubs and organizations at my school. Also i'm an African-American male and i live in Virginia (NOVA) so i'm hoping that that will help my chances. Also i will apply to general studies rather than engineering because i have heard it is very competitive.</p>

<p>You have taken some tough classes and that is great! The chemistry grade is not so good, but that is only one class. I would say apply regular admission. Write great essays, go and meet the admissions counselor when she comes to visit your high school, email her a resume and send her a note. Send your first 9 weeks report card and make sure it is spectacular. Then send your mid year report card before the school does sending a note along with it saying VT is your number one choice. I wish you good luck!</p>
