That Math score! No one can promise you anything but you are well within reach. It makes a difference at VA Tech what your prospective major is. They ask for a second major preference so many hopeful Engineering majors apply for University Studies as a second choice. Do all the essays. Good luck.
You should be fine if you are not planning to major in Engineering. VA Tech is a safety school for most of my son’s high school friends and their friends. Its acceptance rate is around 60%. Last year class at my son’s HS, 80% applied got in. Oh, we live in Northern VA.
I recently came across this page on the VA Tech website: http://www.ir.vt.edu/data/student/admissions.html which can provide some context to you on what type of numbers the prior years’ incoming freshmen had in your particular major, as well as other info.
For example, if you click on the “entering freshman profile by cohort”, you can do a search by college and then by major to see what the stats were on the entering freshman for that major. This includes GPA, SAT/ACT, gender, race, and the number of people enrolled as freshman in the major.
Through the “applications, offers, enrollees” link, you can see the number of applications they received, school wide or by college or by major, and how many enrolled.
Although these are just numbers and not definitive on what may happen with you, it may help you assess if you’re in the ballpark of people who enrolled in past years in your major. It is important to note, however, that people may have been accepted but not entered as freshman so this data is not all-inclusive as far as who was accepted.
