JMU vs. Virginia Tech

<p>My d is a senior this is year in a top public HS in NJ. Her 1st and 2nd choices are JMU and VT respectively. I know that admissions has become very competitive and just wondering what her chances might be. She has the following:</p>

<p>GPA 3.8
ACT 26
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>Feedback is appreciated!<br>

<p>Is she going to retake the SAT or do the ACT this fall? I would recommend it if she hopes to gain admission at either school. It’s tough for an OOS student to land admission at any VA public college. A little higher SAT/ACT would better her chances.</p>
