You’ve posted basically the same thing quite a few times…for the same schools. It’s obviously not going to improve your chances at all… You can further guess your chances based on respective college websites- so are you just trying to figure out how to boost your app…?
Nevertheless, if you want the best chance, you should retake the sat, whether you feel like it or not. That could offset your low GPA somewhat. Your ECs are good and business at Tech isn’t too competitive. You have a chance at all your schools, just try your best on essays and keep your GPA up.
Best chance is VCU. VT, UMCP, PSU, and probably GMU are reaches. Sounds like UW GPA may be 3.0’ish which is low for these schools. VT really dislikes D’s so that may take you out of the game for there. Don’t know about Temple. Do you have solid safeties?
Agree that VCU gives you your best chance of all these schools. VT is a reach for you with your GPA. You mentioned nursing on another thread. VT does not have nursing so not sure why you would consider applying ED to VT if you want to keep that option open. I don’t thnk ED would help you anyway. Virginia schools that do have nursing that you might look into are ODU, Radford and Longwood. UMW does too but some of the classes are held off campus and you need a car even as a freshman ( according to their website). UVa also has nursing but it is highly competitive and would be a super reach for you.
