Virginia Tech Waitlist Movement

[Anonymous]

I heard that VT has had some movement on their waitlist. Anyone off? Which major? In-state/out-of-state?

There were some posts on another thread. From what I heard, it was OOS students. The one we know is a psychology major .

Thanks for that - I searched before posting, but didn't find anything. We are in-state COE. Not optimistic, but as a double-RIF family, were really hoping for the in-state tuition!

We are in the same situation with our son for COE. He was equally happy with his OOS option, but I wouldn't mind in-state tuition. I'm not optimistic about the waitlist either and I don't I'm not sure that my son would even consider, but do want to keep the option open.

VT, JMU, and GMU going to the WL so far.

I’m truly sorry to read this. I hope it comes through. And I hope things turn around for your family.

I am really sorry. We toured VT this week. During the information session, VT said of the 58,000 applications it received 23,000 were for COE. For 2200 slots.

I'm sorry to hear this as well. I'm sure that belt tightening might make sense to extend to college choice as well even if you have savings to cover it. You still might be able to get close to VT in-state tuition at some OOS schools that are still accepting applications. Clarkson and Alabama come to mind. GMU, VCU and ODU are also viable options. I'm sure you know this already, but worth considering.

Just to clarify this, 2200 seats means they'd accept a multiple of that, because not everyone accepted chooses to enroll. VT's overall yield is about 27%, so for 2200 seats, they'd accept >8k, or about 35%.

True. The overall yield rate is about that. The yield rate for engineering is around 28%.

NP.
Thank you SO MUCH! for clarifying 28% vs. 27%. Not only was that necessary, but it was incredibly constructive and reflects really well on the VaTech community. Thanks!!!!

I can’t speak to JMU or GMU but so far every WL offer at VT I’ve read about, across multiple platforms, was to an OOS student. No in state movement yet AFAIK.
