Since there's no ED this year, and the EA's decision usually comes out in February.  It's a possibility that the VT admission office is getting a lot of inquiries about the release date and therefore, decided tp release EA offers in stages.[/quote]

THIS ^^.  Not sure what all the fuss is about.  EA at VT is usually in Feb.  Having eliminated ED (don't know why), they now have all of those apps combined to deal with.  So either everyone waits until February, or they release the ones they've finished.

Really, they should reinstate ED for next year.  So many kids just want to apply to their first choice and be done with it.[/quote]

They said they were doing away with ED because it hurts students who rely on financial aid. It was announced at the same time as they announced their move away from legacy admissions after the Supreme Court decision. It's part of their plan to make admissions more equitable.

“The previous expectation in the early decision plan that students lock in their commitment to Virginia Tech well before the regular decision deadline was not a good option for all of our applicants, particularly those needing financial aid, and created unneeded pressure on students,” said Juan Espinoza, associate vice provost for enrollment management. “By eliminating early decision, we are simplifying our application process and also leveling the playing field for all students, regardless of their household income.”
