<p>Admission to VT does not solely rely on the cumulative value of one’s GPA alone. Rather, it is concomitantly dependent on SAT, ECs, and High School course load. Also, the specific program that youre applying to within VT matters a lot…(Engineering, Architecture, Business…). Within the College of Engineering, the class of 09 stats seems to be around a 3.8-3.9 GPA and a 1330-1350 SAT. Again, those figures are NOT from any VT sponsored source, those figures are what I have gathered from talking to Freshmen Engineers. Despite both the College board and Princeton review websites being outdated from last years figures, I KNOW that the average ADMITTED SAT score and GPA for the incoming class of '09 was a 1260 and 3.81 respectively. The University released these figures on the vt.edu Main page boasting how the ADMITTED SAT jumped nearly 60points overall as the GPA value jumped more than a tenth of a point as well. I emphasize–ADMITTED…</p>
<p>I am currently a Sophomore Engineering student at VT and have never seen anyone admitted to the Honors program with a 3.2 from High School. The aforementioned is actually impossible due to the requirements and guidelines set by the University. “One must either have at least a GPA 3.7 and a SAT of 1400 or a GPA of 3.5 and a SAT of 1300, both with CR scores above 620…” to even be considered for the Honors program out of High School. However, if one maintains a 3.5 GPA during their studies at Tech, they are able to apply for the Honors Program as a “transfer.” </p>
<p>Cavalier you have no clue what youre talking about.</p>
<p>I know that this post ambiguously addresses your “minimum GPA” post…but the point that Im trying to make is that it relies on a number of factors…not just a “minimum GPA.” I guess I could better help to answer your question if you told me your SAT (actual or projected).</p>
<p>Hopefully I can help. </p>
