How great does your GPA/ACT have to be to get into a fairly competitive Landscape Architecture school, such as UVa, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, or University of Wisconsin-Madison? My grades actually have been very good up until this semester (I am a junior). Freshman year I think my gpa was 3.6 or something, sophomore year I managed straight A's along with 2 honors courses (4.0 gpa, 4.2 weighted), and this year unfortunately I have a collection of three B-'s and three A's; one honors course and one AP course. This, however, is only for first semester, and I plan on getting those grades much higher with tutoring or whatever I can do. I have pretty good extracurriculars; I am in color guard, marching band, yearbook, and I have a job as a florist and floral designer at a local high-end grocery store floral department. I actually plan on joining one or two more school clubs and possibly doing tutoring. What are my chances at getting in to a selective school like UVa?
