<p>Hi, I'm planning on applying to V-Tech and other engineering schools such as Georgia Tech and I'd apprieciate if someone would chance me.</p>
<p>Stats:
GPA overall: 3.6 Weighted
Freshmen: 3.5
Sophmore: 3.3
Junior: 4.0
Senior: (Suspected around 4.0)
Took nearly all challenging classes as well as engineering related classes.</p>
<p>SAT
First time 1820
640 Math
580 Reading
600 Writing
Taking it again Suspected around low 1900's
SAT2 Math: 710</p>
<p>Extracurriculars
Have a part time job for 1+ year (design/engineering related)
Various honor societies (science,math,etc) (not in nhs)
FBLA
Various local Engineering clubs (officer of 1 of them)
Played a sport on a team in freshman year</p>
<p>Legacy
Had 2 family members previously go to vtech</p>
<p>Any recommendations for other good engineering schools would also be nice.
Thanks!</p>
<p>also something to add:</p>
<p>in both freshman and sophmore year, my gpa was much lower than junior year due to a single class (2 year class). Besides that class, my grades were high B - A Level in freshman and sophmore year with challenging classes.</p>
<p>VA tech’s engineering program is always pretty competitive- I live near it so there are always a bunch from my school and Blacksburg (obviously) that get in. I’m not interested myself but a few people from the class ahead of me had trouble, you sound about how their application did. Try to get those math scores up a little I’d imagine, maybe a ACT. You’re probably in the bottom 25% of who they accept from what I’ve seen- but I’m no admission officer.</p>
<p>legacy is big at Va Tech so I would say match but like vahart said definitely try to raise your scores</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies! Any suggestions on how much I need to raise my SAT’s by?</p>
<p>I’m also in a very large number of other extracurriculars but the remaining ones I’m not leading or how very little relevance to my major (engineering).</p>
<p>getting CR up to 600 would make it a sure thing I’d say with the legacy advantage.</p>
