<p>Yeah, never thought about it during the application process; but what prima says is very true.</p>
<p>For me, I applied early decision with a 3.6-3.7ish; being from southern Virginia, (SoVA I guess?, lol). My SAT scores were a notch above the accepted average, but they wern’t really phenomenal. Though its important that you visit the university, talk with the admission guys about your personal situation, and see if your guidance counselor has any networks with them. And of course, do your best to improve your image.</p>
<p>For the first time, honestly ever, I worked and studied my butt off and got all A’s throughout the year. If you really want it, you’ll get to VT. Be mindful of also the community college route of 2 years. A lot of my friends are doing this with VT, William & Mary, & UVA to save a lot of cash and get a degree from their dream school.</p>
