[quote=Anonymous]UVa SEAS has visibly fewer total undergraduate students than VT or UMCP. This means it will have fewer upper level elective options AND also that it can be very competitive to get accepted. Being affordable and in-state also increases demand. The smaller size means each student is a name not a number. It also has a very high graduation rate *with a degree in engineering*, because UVA filters students at admissions time not through weed-out classes later. UVa is transparent with its admissions statistics. It has been clear for decades that the best admissions chance to UVa for any student is ED. 2nd best is EA. RD is the most difficult time to get admission. Do whatever you think best, just understand that UVa SEAS admissions is not certain for any candidate. It is too much of a lottery -- and honestly this is true for many (most?) engineering programs these days (yes, exceptions must exist somewhere). [/quote]
