What was your math subscore on the ACT? What math classes have you taken? For the business school, they will like to see strength in math
My math subscore was a 30 I have taken all honors math and as well as statistics the complete list is: Honors geometry, honors algebra 2, honors precalc, honors calc , and AP statistics. Next year I am enrolled to be taking AP calc AB and Micro Economics
You seem very well qualified. I’m a little curious about the difference between your ACT composite and superscore…? Either way, 'Nova looks at the highest you ever got in each category, not just one exam.
If you’ve taken as much honors/AP as you’ve been able and maintained A’s and B’s throughout, that’s fantastic for VBS. I’ll be entering in the fall as a freshman and got into VBS + Honors College with stats a little lower than yours, and apparently last year was the most competitive admissions year in school history. Make sure you spend time on your essay as well, not that you have to start it ASAP. I don’t know how much weight VU admissions puts on it, but spend time writing, have teachers proof read, etc. My essay came up during a scholarship interview and now it’s getting me an extra 5k/year!
