[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my DC who was admitted this past cycle in engineering said SAT/GPA is most important.  around 1500 SAT and near 4.0 unweighted GPA should get you in.[/quote]

Why would anyone go to uva for engineering? Do they even have an accredited engineering program?[/quote]

Because it's vastly superior to the other somewhat meager in state options. Let's face it. E-school has always been far more selective than the college and the college is more selective than other engineering programs. in the end it just comes down to a better cohort.[/quote]

I thought the only had an associates degree for engineering. [/quote]

That was a Troll post.

The UVa Engineering School predates WW2 and has always offered BS Engineering degrees.  It has never offered Associates degrees.  It s MUCH smaller than VT’s E School.  Admissions to UVa E School always have been highly competitive, partly due to its small size.  For at least 40 years now, the median Verbal SAT scores of matriculating E School students have been higher than median Verbal SAT scores in the College of A&S at UVa.  They also filter on the front end (Admissions), so they have a high 5-year graduation rate.  They also do not have huge intentional weed-out classes, although *any* Engineering school will be hard / rigorous even for top students (Feynman at MIT excepted, but he was an official Genius).[/quote]
