What do you need to get into Virginia Tech?

Answer 1

"Like most mid-tier schools you would need a GPA of approximately 3.0+, good SAT scores, and a decent amount of extracurricular activities.

and $25,000"

I'm not sure who answered this question first but it's pretty far off the mark. VTs average GPA of freshmen is around 3.8, requires a pretty darn good SAT score... think around the 80th percentile, and extracurricular activities including charity/community service type activities. Family alumni and donations don't hurt your chances for admission either...
