<p>VT is very numbers driven. Search for the thread by chuy, a VT alumni. He posted with some links to check that show the GPA range for accepted students.
For example, for the fall of 2011 the mid-50% GPA was 3.81–4.24. As reported by the high schools, which means that that may include weighted grades.
Also VT only looks at grades through the junior year.</p>
