<p>I am applying ed at Virginia Tech with my dad and grandfather both alumni. My grandfather is a donor there. My grandfather is also fraternity brothers with one of Tech's largest donors($5mil), and he's going to help too. I am a good student (3.9 unweighted gpa, with a 1110 SAT, and lots of extracurriculars). Obviously my SAT is a little low, but I was wondering if these connections actually do help? Thanks!</p>
<p>1110…? Is this a typo. Or is this only M + CR? Because if it’s out of 2400, your grandfather needs to be the 5 million dollar donor for you to get in </p>
<p>Math plus CR! Haha I should’ve been more specific! My all 3 is a 1750- m: 530, cr: 580, and w: 640</p>
<p>If your grandfather’s friend calls in on your behalf, you’re in. But otherwise, no dice. Your grandfather doesn’t seem like a big enough donor to swing anything but his friend could. He has to call in though and get to the right people. </p>
<p>Vtech isnt as big on legacy as other institutions but, they do consider it.</p>
