Can I get into Virginia Tech?

Question

I have a 3.7 GPA, I've been in French club all four years of high school, I'm involved in two volunteer organizations, My SAT scores are 690 (Critical Reading), 590 (Math), 690 (Writing). I took 3 AP courses last year (my junior year) and I'm taking 4 this coming year (my senior year).

The only problem is my math classes. My junior year I took Math Analysis and this year I'm taking Discreet Math. I know this a weak spot on my transcript--Can I get into Tech?

(The reason I'm not taking a higher math this year is because following Math Analysis I have the choice of either AP Calculus or AP Stats--my school nixed the regular Calculus programs. I just cannot take AP math classes. My schedule is already very challenging next year, and I don't want to make myself miserable.)

Answer 1

You look to be an ideal candidate for Virginia Tech especially if you are from Virginia.  The school has a strong reputation for engineering.

Answer 2

You shouldn't have a problem, but why do you want to go to Virginia Tech?

If you want to be an engineer you should consider Georgia Tech, MIT, Clemson, Auburn, or Mercer University.

I am not trying to be ugly (but honest), VT doesn't have a very good reputation; I would not go there if I were you.  

Answer 3

Call them or go to their website and write the education office these questions..They are the people who can detail for you what you need.

Answer 4

You should check Virginia Tech's website for their admissions qualifications.  This will give you a much better understanding of what you need to get into the university.  Your weakness in math should not be a hindrance into the school.  If you have any questions about the information that they provide on their site, contact the admissions office of the university and ask.  I know it's not exactly what you want to hear, but all universities are different.  At the school I attend, you would be a shoo-in.
