Try the SAT. Some people do better on one format or the other. You’ll want to hit well into the 600 level on all areas. For Eschool push the math up to 700, even better. You are not considered below 600 M/CR. You may get offered admission to VT with the possibility to transfer to the Eschool, but frankly if you are not getting A’s in HS it will be a tall order in college.
With the ACT, look past the composit to the section scores. Did you score closer to a 30 in Math and Science but your English grade just killed you? This is important to know. I’m not sure if VT superscores the ACT. If they do. When you retest focus on the area that killed you.
Lastly, if you are OOS you will have a harder time. VT admits more instate students (65/45% roughly?).
