SAT 1770/2400
AP and honors courses in Jr and Sr year
Consistently involved in same 3 EC's through HS and some community service hours. Has worked same job working with children since her sophmore year. Wants to major in Education. </p>

<p>I’m not familiar with JMU, but here’s a breakdown of the statistics of the VT applicants offered admissions for 2010:

<p>Specific majors will have somewhat different profiles. Here’s a link to the VT Institutional Research department with spreadsheets showing more specifics for 2009 and earlier years:

<p>Good luck to your daughter - VT is a great school.</p>
