I was accepted to Tech nearly 20 years ago with just under a 3.0 GPA, if that tells ya something (good SAT scores though).
What I have more of a problem with (and not getting into a debate about high school academics) are the difference in grading scales from county to county in the Commonwealth. My county's grading scale is significantly different than just about every other county in VA. Her GPA currently is around 3.75 but would be much closer to a 4.0 if they were on a 10-point grading scale. Not that I want standards to be lowered, just think that some "factoring" during the admissions process is in order (and I know it doesn't happen). Anyhow -- just venting..haha
