I had a 3Nov 24 2009Electrical Engineering
I had a 3.9 GPA with a 2110 on the new SAT. I took 10 AP classes and was involved in several clubs in high school as well as sports. I received a full ride to both ODU and VT.
SAT: 2110 Male
I had a 3Mar 07 2009Education
I had a 3.5 with 1300 SAT. I did not really plan to go to ODU I was wait listed for JMU. But I'm pleased with my decision to go to ODU. I love the beach and I don't think I would enjoy the mountains! My recommendation is to keep your grades in a 3.1 range. Thats the average GPA my friends who got in had. I also think in the coming years ODU is going to be a bit tougher.
SAT: 1300 Female
1. Visit the School (Norfolk, VA)Dec 04 2008Nursing
1. Visit the School (Norfolk, VA)
2. Take SAT's
3. Get GPA around 3.3
3. Write Short Essay
4. Choose Major + Benefits
5. Meet with Counselour
6. Always check ODU email
SAT: 1500 Female
If you have at least a 3Sep 15 2008Electrical Engineering
If you have at least a 3.0 gpa and decent SAT scores you have a good chance of getting in. Extra activities wouldn't hurt either. It's not as hard to get into ODU as it is to get into Tech or UVA but that is going to change pretty soon. I wouldn't underestimate the admissions process.
Male
