Anyone know what sort of GPA I need to be aiming for to get into Virginia Tech? And if you don't mind sharing, can you also tell me your GPA when you applied?
While Virginia Tech doesn't specify a minimum GPA requirement for admission, it's important to note that the institution has a competitive admission process and most admitted students have a GPA in the range of 4.06 on a weighted scale. This doesn't mean that students with GPAs below this won't be admitted, but a higher GPA certainly increases your chances.
Regarding the question about GPA when applying, while it can be interesting to compare, remember that each student's application is unique and considered holistically. Admissions offices look not only at GPA but also course rigor, test scores, extracurricular activities, essays, and other factors.
Good luck with your application! It's always good to aim high in maintaining your GPA. Remember though, it's not the only factor at play.
