they offered 7,251 yes letters? They don't think all of the 7,251 will say yes but they plan to fill 7,251 so will pull from wait list after they hear back from the initial acceptances. How many do they take in RD round? |

They offered way more than 7.251 spots. They expect to fill 7,251 based on historical yield from those offers. If the trend looks low, they will pull from waitlist. They pull most from EA - they consider RD as "space available." They are very transparent - https://udc.vt.edu/irdata/data/students/admission/index#college |

Their listed OOS COA (including indirect costs) is ~$65k *plus* many colleges have additional fees adding another 2k or so. |

Lying liars!! 100% lies. One look at TJ scattergram would put to rest this lie. The top TJ students who all get into T20, get accepted to UVA and are rejected by V Tech. VT is not doing anything wrong, as none of these kids have any intention of going to V Tech. That is fair. What is wrong is the lying to the face by VT that they do not yield protect. We applied in 2025 cycle and after looking at the scattergram did not apply to VT. Got in to a HYP and UVA and he would nearly certainly have been rejected by VT. |

| Its difficult because when your child has high stats, and a school like VT is their dream school (even if they can go to "better" schools), how to show their high interest without Early Decision. |

I agree. So sorry about this! In State or OOS? |
4.22 , 3.95 uw, 1530 SAT, Civil Air Patrol, tons of national and international stem ecs like robotics, high altitude balloon challenge, drone drone competition, etc.

| VT definitely yield protects and has been doing so for years. People have reported waitlisted s for extremely strong students who have good ECs in this board for years but just because VT puts a line on their website, people pretend they are not accepted because of some other actual reason. |

If none of those kids have any intention of going to VT, why are they applying? Do you think perhaps they also didn't put much time and effort into the VT essays? I know VT admissions staff personally. It is related to my job. They do not yield protect. They do not care about yield - it is not a ranking motivator for them. If it were, they would have kept ED - best yield protection there is. |

Honest question: how many of these waitlisted or rejected stellar students would have gone if accepted?
I have no more insight into VT admissions than your local skunk. I have huge sympathy for in-state students with first rate ability who absolutely wanted VT because it meets their interests and talents. All the folks writing how shocked they are with results don’t say if their kid would actually have gone. Many have their sights set on something else; they just expected the admit. My guess is VT is saving some seats for other regions of the state. They are have also been expanding class size, which isn’t all great bc housing is becoming a high profit private enterprise. To be fair, this is true at other universities too. To enthusiastic, in-state students with academic excellence, I hope you are admitted. |
