<p>I am a female junior in high school planning to major in computer science which is in the college of engineering at Virginia Tech. My GPA is a 3.6 so far which i plan to bring up to a 3.9 by the end of this year. I mostly got A's and B's freshman and sophomore year, with the exception of 2 C's. I've been getting all A's in junior year so far. I'm taking my first AP this year, which is AP psych, along with honors english and spanish 4 honors. I took the SAT for the first time and got an 1810. 550 in math and reading, and 710 in writing. My extracurriculars include: Dance for 4 years, Model UN this year, UNICEF this year, engineering job-for-a-day thing i got accepted into at Lockheed Martin, and Varsity Gymnastics this year. I do not have any logged volunteer hours, but I hope to get some over the summer as I barely have any time for anything this year. Please help, this is my my dream school and I'm stressing out so much!! Also is there a way i could apply for general admission and later apply for the College of Engineering? Would that increase my chances at all? I am also in-state.</p>
<p>The way it was explained to me when I visited in the summer is, if you are rejected to the school of engineering, you are then moved into the applicant pool for the school of liberal arts and sciences. You could always go into the school of arts and sciences as a freshman and then transfer into the school of engineering. </p>
<p>You’re a girl so that helps you out because there simply aren’t many female engineers (or computer scientists), however focus on that math sat score and bring that up. make sure you do well in your math classes and take physics. Tech wants mainly A’s in math and sciences so if you can get A’s or A-'s in those you should be a match/low reach. You’re major is computer science and not engineering so that may help as well.</p>
<p>VA Tech does not look at writing score…</p>
<p>VA Tech: High match</p>
