<p>There is very little information regarding early decision architecture acceptances at Virginia Tech. He feels fairly certain he will be admitted to the college - but architecture is one of the "protected" majors with higher qualifications. Her are my son's stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 4.35 weighted, 3.89 unweighted
SAT: 1390/2160 ( V 670, M 710, W 770)
ACT: 30 (E 33, M 28, R 33)
AP English Comp: 5</p>
<p>Has taken the most rigorous high school classes available (3 AP courses are all that are offered, he has/is taking all of them)</p>
<p>Taking AP Art History on-line</p>
<p>Taking Spanish IV</p>
<p>Attended VT's Architecture + Design camp in summer of sophomore year</p>
<p>Attended NC State's Architecture Camp summer of junior year</p>
<p>Double Legacy (both parents graduated VT)</p>
<p>Great EC's and Leadership: Boy's State, VP of Beta Club, Secretary of Student Council, Drum instructor, County Youth Council (3 years plus officer), demonstrated dedication to drumming/percussion</p>
<p>He most likely will get in. But, as we all know, it’s not about how he looks on a national level, but rather how he compares to the other kids from his own high school who are applying. If you are from northern VA, it is more competitive, but there are other schools in the state who have very high numbers of applicants, and that will be his first hurdle. There are too many anecdotes about VA hs kids with stellar stats being rejected there while others get in with 1600 composite SATs and 3.2 GPAs. But, VT gets huge numbers of applications and this is how they do it.</p>
<p>Thank you, yes I have heard this about applying in Virginia and I can only imagine it is very frustrating for kids in NOVA. We are in North Carolina and he attends a very small, private high school. There are no other students applying to VT for ED but there might be a few for RD. We had two students apply and get in in previous years, although neither attended. Thank you for your information, I appreciate your reply.</p>
