[quote=Anonymous]I think the ease of admission to VT for engineering in-state will depend on location and HS attended. If your child is attending one of the better Northern Virginia schools, admissions will be tough. My child was waitlisted this go-around with similar coursework as previously mentioned. The acceptance rate from my child's high school at VT is about 20 percentage points lower than the overall acceptance rate at VT, and it's one of the best-performing schools in the area. This likely factors into the low acceptance rate.

There may be nuances depending on the specific major you apply to. At this point, the VT website states that construction engineering is the only major that is not restricted. For this major, a student needs a 3.0 in the required core courses to be guaranteed their first choice. It does appear that you can change to computer science. This is the only school that I have seen with a secondary admission process where nearly every major is restricted.[/quote]
