Just apply, have average grades and an averageMay 14 2008Engineering Department
Just apply, have average grades and an average SAT score, and you should get in. However, the school is beginning to build a reputation for academic quality, which may not be the case in the future. For now though, just try a bit and things should be ok.
SAT: 1170 Male
I am a Mechanical Engineer major and I hadFeb 11 2008Mechanical Engineering
I am a Mechanical Engineer major and I had like a high C average in high school. I took SAT scores never sent them in to ODU. I did go to community college for a year and a half to get other classes over with, but getting into the school is easy. Probably because the school is a joke overall. Think twice before applying, don't say no one warned you.

I got in with a 3Nov 11 2005Business - Management and Administration
I got in with a 3.2 GPA, and 1200 on my SAT, not bad in my opinion. I think that would be like an average, so shoot for that. Also, I had a recommendation letter from an awesome teacher, I can imagine that helped alot. I dont know if it helped, but I listed myself as Asian/Pacific Islander even though im a half breed. (usa). Ummm, basically, the average student who takes some decent classes throughtout high school has a pretty good chance of getting in.
SAT: 1200 Male
