[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were some posts on another thread. From what I heard, it was OOS students. The one we know is a psychology major .[/quote]

Thanks for that - I searched before posting, but didn't find anything. We are in-state COE. Not optimistic, but as a double-RIF family, were really hoping for the in-state tuition![/quote]

I am really sorry.  We toured VT this week.  During the information session, VT said of the 58,000 applications it received 23,000 were for COE. For 2200 slots.  [/quote]
Just to clarify this, 2200 seats means they'd accept a multiple of that, because not everyone accepted chooses to enroll. VT's overall yield is about 27%, so for 2200 seats, they'd accept &gt;8k, or about 35%.[/quote]

But, as with many state flagships, the differential between in state admit rates and yield and OOS admit rates and yield are so different, you can’t average them and get a meaningful newer for instate or OOS. You really need to treat VT instate students and VT OOS students as two different pools.

VT doesn’t break it down by engineering vs other schools. But the last CDS available shows:
Instate: approx 19,000 applicant, 9,000 admitted, 4350 enrolled
OOS: approx 24,600 applicants, 15,600 admitted, 2500 enrolled

And even without a separate FOR breakdown, you know OOS engineering admit rate with be much higher than instate and OOS yield will be much lower than in state yield.  Look at the finances— which matter more and more each year.  For in state students who are accepted, VT is a great deal. Approx $17,500 in tuition and $42,500 all in. Only Purdue comes close from a $$$ perspective.

OTOH, OOS students will have similarly ranked or more highly ranked state flagship COEs available to them at the same price point as VT OOS Engineering (or for less). A sampling of other flagships kids getting into VT from OOS may be considering.

COE VT OOS tuition and fees is $40,000, all in is $64,000
