[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rate is much lower for engineering and computer science. [/quote]

It's annoying to find, but you can see applications, acceptances, and enrolled my major here: https://udc.vt.edu/irdata/data/students/admission/index#college

College of Engineering Acceptance Rate (removing he AA degrees: 56% (it was 76% in 2019, 63% in 2020)

When you select the CS department, it shows 6 applicants and 6 accepted. Not sure what's going on there.[/quote]

It is because VT all incoming freshman to the engineering school (CS included) go into General Engineering for the 1st year.

It gets interesting when you filter the "Tuition" for in-state.... then you'll see that the acceptance rate for In-State Engineering is down to 33% in 2021... I'm curious to see the 2022 numbers, but I'll bet it is similar.
OOS applicants are at 66%... so it would appear that it is much easier to apply to engineering from OOS.  Crazy, huh?

I think it works both ways.  In the last few cycles, we've seen instate kids get into Penn State, Ohio State, Purdue, and even UVA and Michigan, but get denied at VT.  My guess is that VT is going through what GT experienced when it added the Common App.  I also think that in 5 years, you'll start to see that admission rate evidence on sites like US News when it continues to happen cycle after cycle.[/quote]
