*2. does colleges look at your senior grade too?

*3. What other school can i get in to with this grade?

1) You definitely have a good chance at GMU, JMU, and you are almost certain to get into ODU or VCU and VMI. VT will be tougher, but there's still a chance. Your grades are kind of low for UVA or William and Mary though.

2) Yes, your senior grades are important, particularly in the first semester. Second semester not so important, but don't slack off too much. If you get waitlisted, they will look at your grades in the latter part of senior year.

3) You might have a chance at Longwood, Mary Washington, UMD, WVU, any public school in Ohio, Delaware, South Carolina, NC State, and a few others not too far from VA.

4) Embry Riddle University in Daytona Beach, FL is a good school for anything related to aviation/aeronautics.

Early decision is a binding application. You apply to one school (in September or October usually) and if you are accepted, then you MUST enroll. You are legally bound to attend. The good part about this is that you only have to do 1 application and you get the stress out of the way.

Lastly, try and get your SAT score up a little. It is not bad at all, but if you can score a 1850-1900, your chances for getting into VT will increase. You may want to consider taking the ACT, it is a much better test in my opinion.

Hope this helps and good luck!
