[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT doesn't post scores for individual majors, but it IS more difficult to get in as an engineer major than most other majors. If you kid isn't in VT's range (3.78-4.23 GPA, 1160-1340 SAT for c/o 2017) I'd advise applying under something easier like sociology or undecided (university studies) and transferring into engineering. It is much easier to do this and I have a lot of friends who did this when I was at VT.

At orientation, they will set you up with a schedule based on your chosen major, but you can easily look up the general engineering courses (everyone in engineering is general until after freshman year when they choose a discipline) and drop/add into those courses after orientation. You'll need department approval for the ENGR department courses, but this happens often.[/quote]

Not sure how you could transfer into an engineering program you couldn't get into the first time unless you retake some of the basics and get very good grades. Also, some of the more intense disciplines like chemical and electrical are very regimented and have much of the coursework already chosen from freshman through senior year. So the colleges don't like students to change majors beyond the first semester or second quarter.[/quote]
