[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those are all great choices.  VT will be more selective this year after they bungled it last year.  So, I would not consider that a safety. [/quote]
Make sure her essays/question answers speak to her specific interests and how she can pursue them at VT. Their acceptance formulas have changed, but she sounds like a real fit, so she just has to show it. Could get invited to honors college.[/quote]

This is great advice, OP--for applying to VT and also all the schools on her list. Definitely she should hone essays to explain why she's interested in that field and to show she has researched how classes at [name the college] are the ones that interest her.

Visiting and requesting to see the agriculture department is also a good idea; she will get a much better idea of what it's like; might see lab facilities if she asks; maybe can see or learn about field work; will see the academic presentation posters on the walls (student projects) which helps give a read on the level of work being done, etc. All good things to ask about specifically. She learns about the department-- and they will remember the applicant who took time to request a look at the department. [/quote]
