My daughter is an out-of-state freshman at VT. She applied EA and was accepted. 1340/29 SAT/ACT (but I don’t think VT even looked at test scores this past year and specifically said they would not look at LOR’s - not sure what the 2022 requirements are). She had 4.2 uw gpa - can’t remember what her weighted number was, AP & Honors classes, etc… She was accepted into the business school.
According to VT’s Class of 2025 snapshot, the average combined gpa of incoming students was 3.98 (of course there were accepted students who were both above and below that number). VT had over 42,000 applicants in 2021 and has a strategic goal of achieving 40% population of URM & underserved populations by 2022. That could work against you as a white male.
That said, you should definitely apply if something about VT speaks to you. Your challenge will be conveying that to admissions. One very important aspect of VT is it’s dedication and commitment to serving others (it’s motto is UT Proism, and is mentioned in pretty much every email, article, social media post, etc. that they put out). The concept of service is highly revered by students, staff & alumni (and they live it in big way - it’s really pretty remarkable and one of things I love most about VT) - so, an avenue for you may be if you can find a way to highlight service to your community in a meaningful way. Another suggestion could be to reach out to your state’s admissions counselor at VT and ask about ED, so you have a complete understanding of what your best admissions strategy should be.
