<p>Per VT admissions website "Virginia Tech accepts either the SAT Reasoning Test (including critical reading and math) or ACT test scores. Since Virginia Tech utilizes the writing portion of each test for placement purposes, students who opt to take only the ACT should take the ACT plus writing. All tests should be taken by the December test date of the senior year.</p>
<p>Our Score Choice is: Highest Section Scores Across Test Dates - Version 1 (Highest M, CR, W). Please note: Virginia Tech wants to see all of your test scores. We will use the highest scores and even combine your highest test scores from multiple test dates when evaluating your application."</p>
<p>If I’m reading their statement correctly the math + reading scores are the ones used to determine acceptance. If your writing score isn’t up to par they may put you in university studies instead of your preferred college. Someone else might have a definitive answer.</p>
