[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're probably better off having your DC pose the question to an admissions rep rather than looking for anecdotal evidence here.

One of DD's friends was accepted to VA Tech and other engineering programs and had no STEM-related ECs.  I'm not sure she even took any AP science classes.

My DC might apply to VA tech engineering next year.  All of his ECs are music related and he's not interested in the academic math/science teams.  If he doesn't get in to VA Tech, he'll just go somewhere else. [/quote]

Musical aptitude is a highly prized asset in engineering recruiting.  I know that sounds dumb, but it's true.   [/quote]

My DC was accepted to Va Tech Engineering with no extracurriculars in anything related to STEM.  But was in his HS marching band for 4 years.  He decided to go to UVA instead bc he wasn't sure he wanted to be an engineer.  He is in the marching band at UVA and guess what, engineering majors are the biggest group of students in the band.[/quote]
