[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The admin rate is slowly dropping since VT started accepting the Coalition App.  It will be interesting to see the trend over the next several years.  Years ago before GT started using the Common App, their admin rate was &gt; 50% (I think even higher, I'd have to go back and look).  Since the Common App, they've dropped significantly.

Also, VT engineering stats are higher with a lower admin rate.  My kid won't look at UVA because he wants to go into engineering.[/quote]

Incorrect on the VT statement. 2018 seems to be an anomaly at this point. In a few years, perhaps that will be proven wrong and 2019 will look like the anomaly. Regardless, the admission rate didn't even change all that much in 2018. Engineering is still less selective than VT overall and much less selective than UVA (39% admission rate in state and 21% out of state).

The link you provide only has the academic profile of entering freshmen, not the overall admission numbers for the college of engineering.
Where are you getting your numbers from?

From ASEE: http://profiles.asee.org/profiles/8059/screen/19

The 2018 admission numbers suggest a 53% admission rate for engineering. [/quote]

Nope. Click the second link for "Applications, Offers, Enrollees by Student Level" and then "Admissions Data Reports." A new window opens and all the numbers are there.

They make you work for it, but all the numbers are there going back to 2010.[/quote]
