Why would anyone go to uva for engineering? Do they even have an accredited engineering program?

Because it's vastly superior to the other somewhat meager in state options. Let's face it. E-school has always been far more selective than the college and the college is more selective than other engineering programs. in the end it just comes down to a better cohort.

I thought the only had an associates degree for engineering.

say what? DS entered in aerospace engineering at UVA and is now at Princeton for a P.hd in electrical engineering. Ignore the idiots who couldn't get in long ago and have no idea how Jim Ryan has improved the engineering schools over the last 8 years

Are you all joking?
UVA is the oldest University engineering program in the USA.

That would be West Point.

I had to laugh at the PP's response. UVA is *never* even mentioned among historic (or even current) engineering schools. It's a non-entity.

Nope. My kid (in state) had a 3.99 GPA/4.43 wGPA with a 35 ACT and got waitlisted

Yield protection.

UVA doesn’t do yield protection, idiot.

Of course UVA does yield protection. How do you explain the disparity between ED and RD.

Yield protection is when you reject overqualified applicants because you don't think they would accept your offer.

Yield protection is also about students showing demonstrated interest in attending.

UVA does not track demonstrated interest. It does not yield protect like VT.

UVA is ranked 38 out of 199 top engineering programs in the US by USNWR. My DS went through it and is now working on a DPhil at Oxford. She's received seven unsolicited job offers already.

New post. PP is not a troll. I can concur. My kid completed (and earned) the full IB Diploma and took AP courses as well. Kid is a first year at UVA and Echols.

What's an Echols?

Echols Scholars are a program within the College of Arts & Sciences. UVa is believed to offer Echols to academically strong applicants who they think might jump to a different university (Ivy or similar). There is no guaranteed money from Exhols, but they do get preferential treatment in some areas.

UVa E School analog is Rodman Scholars, which has fewer practical benefits.

Yield protection is also about students showing demonstrated interest in attending.

The main way you demonstrate interest is by applying ED.

How many students are admitted ED, roughly?

http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/2023/12/unofficial-2023-2024-early-decision.html

About 28% of the class of 2028 was admitted in ED.

DP. For about the millionth time, VT does not yield protect. They say so right on their website, unlike UVA.

"Yield Protection
Virginia Tech does not participate in yield protection."

You've told us this story countless times. An engineering program ranked 38 is NOT a top program. Please stop pretending otherwise.

These are online rankings. Who on earth would get an engineering degree *online*?

I love when people criticize their engineering program. These kids have the last laugh to the bank.

If UVA does not track demonstrated interest, why do they send personalized admissions links to high schoolers with their name in the URL?
