<p>heyy everyone..just wondering your oppinion on whether or not you think i will get into virginia tech early?? i applied as a hospitality managment major...i want to be an event coordinator/wedding planner/hotel manager.</p>

<p>SAT = 1170
GPA = 3.54</p>

<p>Work experience =
1.internship at norfolk scope with the event coordinators last summer
2. job at bide-a-wee catering and event coordinating company since 9/06</p>

<p>varsity soccer = 9-12
varsity cheering = 10 - 12</p>

<p>Student Government =
1. scribe - 9th grade
2. student body president - 12th grade
(so i was elected to two out of the four availble positions in high school)</p>

<p>Key club - 2 years</p>

<p>excellent reccomendations from my principle and the event coordinators i worked for in the summer.
and also my grandma went there so i guess thats legacy...</p>

<p>i also wrote a personal statement because my father passed away from cancer my sophomore year and as a result my grades were much lower that year...</p>

<p>so anyway..what are your thoughts??
thanks..they will be greatly appreciated:]</p>

<p>they may be concerned that your principle is writing your reccomendations for you</p>

3

<p>i go to private school with only about 140 students in my high school and they see that on my application so do you think thats ok?</p>

<p>I gather you are from VA since you worked at the Scope. Where do you go to school? (NA, N-S, Hampton?). Anyway, being in-state, you are in.</p>

<p>yep…actually i live about an hour from scope and i go to a very small private school in chesapeake called stonebridge…</p>

13

14

<p>…</p>

<p>hey, i applied ED also, you will get in for sure.</p>

<p>i visited there and loved it, my sister also loves it and shes a senior. they said they are getting many less apps becuase of the tradgedy, especially early descision. i got 1150 on my sat’s and i have a 2.6 on a 4 point scale from a private school. im interested in seeing how they weight it because a 3.54 at my school is unheard of. the geniouses get around a 3.3. and we’re talking about virginia tech here, not harvard, so your fine. apparently they like legacies so im interested in seeing how that plays out for me.</p>

<p>they accepted exactly 50% early decision last year. and i dunno if your a legacy but they filled up 20% of their freshman class with them last year.</p>

<p>I have about the same gpa and test scores, but I want to join the corps, does that help in any way?</p>
