<p>VT is primarily a stats based admissions school. Last year the minimum math SAT was a 650 for the e’school. VT is the only school I know of that will mix and match your SAT and ACT to create a super score between the two, taking the highest from either format. If your son had an ACT math score that was statistically higher then a SAT 640 VT would convert it and use that. They look at GPA within the context of your grading scale and weighting. They’ll also look at course rigor, did he take advantage of what was available to him. Obviously a 3.8 with more rigorous courses is going to look better then a 3.8 with fewer core classes and several electives each year.</p>
<p>We can only give guidelines here based on what we know from VT admissions in the past, however none of us know where the math SAT cut off will be this year, etc., so take the advise for what it’s worth…well meaning but by no means written in stone. Best of luck to your son!</p>
