<p>Okay down to business. I know with my grades right now I don't stand much of any chance of getting into UVA or W&M. But I was wondering about this. I am planning on taking the spring and summer semester at my local Community college and then going to VCU for the fall and summer. If i keep at least a 3.6 in college would that be enough for ADM to over look my HS grades? If thats not long enough then what is? Also I can get a pair of glowing recommendations from my Literary Journalism teacher and my Japanese teacher I've had them both every year in some instance and they both went to W&M.</p>
<p>I plan on majoring in Computer Science/Marketing.
I will minor in Japanese(East Asian) or creative writing.</p>
