<p>The SAT scores are a bit low. Your GPA looks pretty solid.</p>

<p>bubgal, Have you taken the ACT or can you take it next month? I agree with WoodPost, your GPA looks fine as well as your courseload. Your SAT score isn't bad at all, but some kids fare much better on the ACT. If you could take it and have the scores rushed to VT before the cutoff, maybe that would help. Good luck to you.</p>

<p>i think you should get in (also applied to VA Tech for I.D)... you should also look at the University of CIncinnati- it is known internationally for its design program</p>
