Agree with the other posters. I don’t know about VCU specifically but the 2 large State Us in my state require a combination of high SAT or ACT and GPA. For instance at my daughters school to be eligible for consideration for the scholarship she has (a full tuition scholarship plus a cash scholarship of @ $3000 - **not **a full ride) requires a 32 ACT ***and ***a minimum unweighted 3.75 GPA. Even then it is not automatic as they have limited number. A slightly higher ACT (a weird # - 133 composite of all subscores so a 33.25) guarantees a full tuition waiver for instate students plus a slightly higher cash scholarship (still not a full ride). The highest scholarship there is the NMF one which is a full ride.

A 1650 or 24 ACT would not get you much at the State Us here.
