<p>Hi. Well, you’re scores and GPA could certainly be better, but of course that’s not the only thing to consider. One of the most important aspects of a VT application is your choice of major, which you did not include in your post. Honestly, if you’re going for Engineering or Architecture, the outlook is not so good. VT’s average freshman GPA is right around 4.0 now and the colleges of Engineering and Architecture assume a GPA close to that and make decisions based on the extras, but that is where your application seems to shine.</p>

<p>How many honors/aps does your school offer? your ECs are definitely great.
Just a thought about essays… maybe write about one of your classes that u did terrific in and elaborate on that. Same with one of your ECs that you’re involved in–do the one you’re truly the most passionate about because that will yield you a better essay. I would write all three essays just to be safe :slight_smile:
Overall, I agree with what WiseMD said</p>
