[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

my kid got into both VT and UVA for engineering and selected VT because it has a better engineering program. [/quote]
rookie mistake, as far as job/career placement: UVA is going to lead to more leadership and management roles, and has a higher percent go into innovation/new technology in the private sector. Of course UVA engineering is not ivy level or even Ga-Tech or Berkeley level, but it launches to more white-collar level high tech jobs than VT[/quote]

Jack Welch’s GE back in the day preferred UVa Engineering over VT because of what PP wrote just above.  The VT grad might (no guarantees) be better in math the first day on the job, but the UVa grad’s better leadership and verbal skills meant they were more valuable to GE 5 years out.[/quote]

“Back in the day” being the key words here.  How old are you?![/quote]
