VA Tech: Low match or match (depending on your unweighted)

The average weighted GPA of the middle 50% admitted (enrolled is another matter since most schools at VA Tech's have lower stats for students actually enrolling vs. the ones that don't) is 3.75-4.22 but your SAT is in the ballpark.

I'd say match at this stage, leaning towards high match.

thanks catria. Just recieved my scores from my oct. 27 ACT and i got a 29 composite score. That broke down to a 30 in math, 30 in reading, 28 in science, 26 in english and a 23 in writing. how does this compare to undergrads that were accepted recently? Ive seen other websites with data but im not sure how reliable they are.
