Does VT require letters of recommendation for freshman applicants? If so, who wrote for Cho? I'll I've heard is that he never spoke to anyone.

I don't think any college "requires" LORs. IIRC what the admissions guy told me when I visited, they won't give them special attention, but they'll read them.

what about extra school activities?

Yu can get into VT with just a high SAT?

Resume != LORs, but yes in theory you could just get into VT with a good GPA and high SATs

He was also a non-US native, and if he stated in his application that he planned on majoring in English (a field with, I'm guessing, a paucity of non-native students), this might have worked towards his advantage.
