<p>Obviously my grades are very low but I think I have average SAT scores and a solid SAT II score. I have some EC's and have job experience at a respectable computer firm. I've taken a summer college course at Mason also as a junior in high school and got a B, which suggests that I can handle college-level courses. I was also taking the course while holding two jobs - Smithsonian and Janmedia.</p>
<p>Performed poorly in early school years but will convery a sense of maturity in my essay and talk about what I've learned through my experiences living abroad. Most significant experience is living in a third-world country (Bolivia) and getting a dose of reality, which resulted in an increase in my grades. Was also seperated from my father for a year when he got a job in Baghdad, Iraq.</p>
<p>Anyhow... any comments, suggestions? Also should I add a portfolio of the artwork/websites I've made? I won an award for one of the artworks I've made.</p>
<p>that's a 1260 on the old scale. frankly, your chances are low with that 2.9 GPA, they do not admit a lot of kids with under 3.0 GPAs, even with all your other creds, those slots usually go for the athletes</p>
<p>Can anyone give input on my stats? Applying for Bio major. What do you think?

<p>I am currently a sophomore Engineering student at Virginia Tech and quite frankly..if youre applying to the College of Engineering there is essentially no chance at all of you being accepted to the program. Your SAT I and II are on track with where you need to be..however, if you are concerned with acceptance to Virginia Tech for a less competitive program, you MIGHT have a chance--most likely University Studies. I have never met a student at VT, besides athletes, that have a GPA below a 3.2 let alone a 3.0. Im not saying that it CANT happen, but honestly your chances are very low. I do wish you the best of luck and am glad to hear of your interest in VT.</p>
<p>Best shot for getting in with low stats is to apply to Unversity Studies. Tech is all about the numbers and since the essay is optional, you wonder if they even read it.</p>
<p>If youre applying to Bio you have a better chance of being accepted..but evenso, your chance isnt all that great. My suggestion to you is to apply to University Studies...I mean think about it, youre applying to a competitive school with a 2.9 GPA...I mean you even got a 2.2 GPA during your sophomore year and only got on the honor roll 1 out of 4 years....Jtran10 is an idiot if he thinks youll be a shoe in. Again, Im not saying that it CANT happen...Im just saying that you should apply to University Studies to help your chances of getting into VT....but just keep this in mind...the VT admissions board will review your application and they could potentially deny you admission to the Biology program and concomitantly offer you admissions to University Studies. Good luck with the application process...if you have any more questions I would love to provide assistance.</p>
<p>VTEngineer...I think your getting a little confused. I,hopefulnj, am applying for bio....my GPA is 4.8 w. The rest of my stats are listed above in an earlier post. Do you think I can get in with bio and these stats?</p>
<p>I was referring to nicholasjchung's stats. However, with regard to your stats...I think you should be ok. Your SATs are a bit low...but your GPA definitely compensates for your low scores. I think that you should be fine.</p>
