[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different poster but agree it’s based on major.  Apply to something easy like Art History and you’ll get in with a decent GPA and volunteer/work history. [/quote]

The caveat with that is that if you ultimately want CS/engineering/business you are unlikely to be able to transfer into those majors. However, you could major in...

Economics (college of science) instead of business. That has a 64% admit rate for In-state/not URM/not Pell vs 40% for Pamplin

Computational Modeling and Data Analytics (CMDA) aka data science (college of science) instead of CS. That has a 68% admit rate for In-state/not URM/not Pell. Many of those students minor in or double major in CS.

I am the pp with a 4.1 kid waitlisted.  We put in all their stats it asked for, racial background, sex,  exact major applied to,  etc on the very detailed site VT has.  it showed a 65+ acceptance rate.  I think it was like 68%.

I will be curious to see that after it updates for this year.

I do think a big factor is that they are looking for first gen to make up a very large part of the class.
