Is it possible to get in with a low gpa and low sat? I was never a good test taker and it ruined my gpa and sat. I did take some hard classes in high school I’d say including 3 APS. I’m taking calc as well. My major is nutrition and exercise not engineering. My stats are 3.4W snd 1110 sat. I also took a lot of time and effort into those essay questions. I posted this before so if those looks like a duplicate I’m sorry! I’m just nervous cause I really want to get in. I wish I applied early action but I didn’t know about Virginia tech until December and It was already passed the deadline. Any advice will help. Thanks guys!!
Btw I’m out of state from NJ
You have the grades / SAT / and doing Regular Decision against you. Your going to need some things to go your way like 1st Gen in Family to College, Minority, or non-popular major.
Do I still have a chance in the regular decision round for engineering?
GPA: 3.9 UW 4.36 W
SAT:1380
In-state
Legacy: no
I am an URM (Hispanic, first-gen born in the U.S., but not the first to go to college).
APs: 8 classes
Essays: Pretty good
Thank you for the response! Any chance do you know how competitive the Human nutrition and exercise major is? (HNFE). Thanks for the help @cbl1
Sarahim1. Of course you have decent chance. Ea would have been better but rd can certainly come through for you.
Nj130020. Certainly will be easier then some. Best of luck.

@pineapple23 You posted this on last year’s thread, you might want to move it to the class of 2025 discussion.
Is a 4.0 weighted, 3.5 unweighted, and 1430 SAT Out-Of-State
Good ecs and essays
Is this enough to get into Virginia Tech computer science being out-of-state?
@lolug7878uh Your stats sound a little low for OOS engineering (which is where CS is housed). Also, you posted this on last year’s thread.
What if I apply early decision?
ED is not going to make up for weak stats if that is the case. Wait 6 months and look for a class of 2026 thread for Virginia Tech to get current info.
