Question by : Do I have a big chance to get into Virginia Tech and their College of Engineering?
My Background:

I took Algebra 1 in 7th grade.
Geometry, Earth Science, Spanish 1, and Keyboarding in 8th grade.
Algebra 2/Trignometry, Biology, World History 1, Honors English 9, Spanish 2, PE/Health 1, with 1 lunch break for each A day and B day in 9th grade.

I am currently taking AP Statistics, Physics, AP Government and Politics, AP English Literature, CADD 2, and no lunch breaks either.
The CADD (Computer Aided Drafting and Designing) courses are very advanced in my area and there isn’t many people in the course. I have to go to a technology center just to take it. We use the latest software such as AutoCAD 2010 and Inventor. My Junior year we did mechanical stuff while this year we are doing architectural stuff. It also counts as 3 classes per year.
I played JV football my freshman year and the other 3 years are on Varsity.
Football team captain my senior year.
I worked at Chick Fil A for 3 months due to football.
My GPA is a 3.678 with me ranked at #73 out of 441 students.
Our grading scale is: 94-100 A 86-93 B 78-85 C 69-77 D Below 69 E
My SAT reading score is a 470 and my math was a 580
And if this is also considered:
I’m an Asian male.

Everything was fine until I saw your class ranking and SAT scores. Ouch!

By all means apply to VPU but have backup plans. Determine which schools are likely to admit you and apply to a few of them as well so that you have choices.

One last thing – are you fluent in another language? If so, make sure you mention that in your application. Also, hone your skills in that language so that you speak at a high level – grammatical and correct in both speaking and writing. That is a great enhancement to your college application.

What do you think of news coverage of events like the Virginia Tech massacre?

Question by thosewerethedays: What do you think of news coverage of events like the Virginia Tech massacre?
Does anyone notice that the networks and the local stations manage to fill up air time with “coverage” when they really don’t have any information to report, and then say “More details as they become available” when they haven’t reported any details yet? They should just report what they do know, then move on, IMHO.

We had a shooting of a city official here, and the local radio station bragged about having reporters “on the scene” everywhere, at the hospital, city hall, police headquarters, the vicitim’s home, man-on-the-street interviews, etc., but never once in 20 minutes mentioned the condition of the victim or identified the shooter. Talk about a smoke screen!

On the one hand, in our instant communications age, maybe we expect too much. On the other, competing news outlets seem to be hell-bent on pretending that they’re delivering.

What do you think? What information should the news media have had as early as yesterday? What should they have been reporting?

Best answer:

Answer by tcb396
Are you reading my mind? It seems like they do this with any breaking news. I believe that is why they give out false information from time to time. They need to gather the facts, verify them and then report. I think their belief is, report whatever they can come up with, try to pull in a bigger audience by doing so, charge more for their commerical time and laugh all the way to the bank.
