“While some schools struggle with enrollment, we have the opposite problem at Virginia Tech.Target freshman enrollment in Engineering was 2060, but 2700 have accepted for Fall 2019 with 350 wanting Aerospace Engineering.”

As other schools get a lot harder to get into (UMCP, UVA) any okay students that want engineering will go to VT. That is why it is more of a weed-out school. You can't expect kids without calculus to get into engineering school and for some reason VT accepts them.

Huh? VTech is better at engineering than UVA.

Please stop

UVA people always want to cite USNews. VT is 13 in USNews undergraduate engineering ranking while UVA is 38th.

Well, if UVA was in the Big 10, its engineering program would only be ranked behind Illinois and Michigan. And Purdue and Northwestern. And Wisconsin and Penn State. And Maryland and Minnesota. And Ohio State.

Maybe. But putting football aside (a yawn for me), UVA still comes in consistently as no. 2 or 3 best public school in America, with Michigan trailing behind. https://news.virginia.edu/content/us-news-19-rankings-rate-uva-no-3-public-and-no-2-best-value-among-publics

Try to find any place where UVA engineering is ranked above Michigan engineering. Any place.
