it depends into what field your applying to, but i think your defiantly qualified, unless your applying into engineering since that is where they get their reputation, i mean how competitive it is… but yeah defiantly. .
@cmullin3 Hi. I think you have pretty decent chances depending on your major. Did you find out in the first round on 2/21 or are you waiting for the 3/18 round??? Let us know what happens !!! Wishing you luck!
It’s pretty difficult to set your mind into the thinking process of the VT Admission Officers. Sometimes it’s quite obvious that one person with exceptional statistics will be accepted, where other times it’s quite shocking that they were denied. Nevertheless, the fact that you have gained experience in something that you’ve done with your father’s company means kudos much more than some average SAT score. With that in mind, I would suggest that as long as you maintain your grades and work ethic, then you have a high chance to be accepted. Now, engineering-wise, I’m not sure how well it will go, but that “Honors Mobile Computer Science” will spark up some interest definitely.
