Transfer Rejection but not giving up

Colleges and Universities A-Z Virginia Tech

<p>About 2-3 weeks ago I got a rejection letter from Virginia Tech. It said that they were unable to accept me for their school of science mainly because of my weak grade (B-) in Math. I know that I have to increase my Math score but what else do you think I can do better on? I'm applying again in the Fall for the Spring 2010 term so any advice would be appreciated. </p>

<p>Here are my Stats so far</p>

<p>To be honest, I don’t think that they came to the conclusion to decline you mainly bc of your B- in math, but also bc of the B in Bio, Chem, and Med Tech., ending up with only a 3.01 from 13 credit hours your freshman semester. And now, you are getting a B in an intro speech course?
I would suggest taking a more rigorous course schedule and aiming for better grades. It actually looks as though you have done worse so far in college since HS. Also, I would save the money from applying again this next semester and really try to bring up your GPA, and re-apply again for junior standing (when you may have a shot).
Just my .02.
Good luck either way.</p>

<p>Im a little surprised…I have a friend who is an idiot that goes to Radford and got accepted as a transfer. Owell…if you really want to go to VT that bad I guess all that you can do is to work as hard as you can and hope for the best.</p>
