<p>Is that a typo on one of your GPAs? I knew grade inflation was bad but weighting a GPA enough to move it over 2.5 points is insane. On VTs scale you’ll probably have something like a 3.3, which probably won’t get you in.</p>

<p>So i have no chance?</p>

<p>VT would be a very big reach. If your heart is set on it there are community colleges with matriculation agreements I think, but I don’t know much about all that.</p>

<p>Edit: I’m trying to figure out this GPA thing. How is that weighted GPA calculated? Your class rank is good so I’m really not sure how it works at your school.</p>

<p>Well my rank goes off of the weighted gpa, and I don’t know the specifics on how the weighted gpa’s are determined. I’m going to still apply as a reach. But thanks for being honest about my chances</p>

<p>Always go for your dream, if you get in great-if not at least you gave it your best shot.
Good luck to you.</p>

<p>GPAs vary from school to school, and VT knows this. Your rank helps put that into perspective for them. I think you have a good chance!</p>

8

<p>Well i was accepted. And will probably attend. My number 1 JMU said no though.</p>
