[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be hard to switch majors at VT. A friend’s child went in for social work, now wants to major in finance and having a hard time changing. [b]Also I heard from counselors that VT is catching on to kids doing this so make sure electives, extra curricular, etc support the intended major.[/b] [/quote] +1 in particular, one of the VT essays is "Describe a goal that you have set and the steps you will take to achieve it." It can be turned into essentially a "why VT" essay - your professional goal, what you've done so far (classes, ECs) and how that major at VT will help you achieve that goal. You can look at VT major acceptance rates here: https://udc.vt.edu/irdata/data/students/admission/index#college The trends for some majors are interesting -- kids must be getting the message that geography is "easy to get into". It was a >90% until 2023 when applications more than doubled. Now the admit rate is 60% (up from 46% the year before). [/quote]
