Get above average SAT. Decent GPA. Come for a visit. Be prepared if you are auditioning, make sure you are memorized and have a decent understanding of piano skills/ music theory if you are auditioning for music. For theatre, be sure you have audition experience, are well rounded (as much voice/dance lessons as you can--- not 100% necessary, but an easy way to score points). Overall for auditions, stay calm, collected, flexible and confident.

“Not hard to get inAug 26 2014Biology
Not hard to get in. Have an ACT score of 22 or SAT score of 1030. Sometimes lower exceptions are made because of GPA. I came in with a 3.8 GPA from community college. The minimum GPA is 2.0-2.5 and there is a good chance you'll get in. But like I said earlier, many will come here but most will not graduate in 4-6 years. It's simply the truth

“Getting into VCU was not as difficult as IApr 09 2014Undecided
Getting into VCU was not as difficult as I had originally intended. Granted, Arts is a whole different story and if you want to get into their Arts program, well let's just say you better be pretty good.
I had a 3.1 and a 1060 SAT, and did not take an ACT. I believe if you show immense interest in the school, they will notice you. I can say that confidently being in the lower 25%. This is and continues to be my dream school.
