Engineering instate…[/quote]

I’m so sorry. That is surprising![/quote]

That is honestly embarrassing for VT. Why wouldn’t someone like that get in, especially in state? Appalling. I don’t even have a dog in the fight but…[/quote]

You know they can't take everyone with those stats, right?  They have a certain number they can accept.  Some kids won't get in.  There's nothing "embarrassing" about it, except for parents/kids who think this school is a safety.[/quote]
They don't "TAKE everyone". Last year they had a yield of 23%.[/quote]

[b]Vtech Waitlist 2026 FAQ [/b]- [url]https://admit.vt.edu/www/documents/2026%20FY%20Waitlist%20FAQ.pdf
[/url]
[b]What are my chances for selection from the waitlist?[/b] 
We cannot make a final decision until all the responses from applicants offered admission are returned. Therefore, we cannot 
answer questions about your chances of being selected for admission at this time. This year Virginia Tech received more than 
58,000 applications and [b]we expect 7,251 students to accept our offer [/b]and enroll. If we have fewer than 7,251 students accept our 
offer, we will offer admission to some of the students who chose to remain on our waitlist.

[b]What is Virginia Tech’s history of selecting students from the waitlist? 
[/b]In 2025, we were able to offer 4,485 applicants from the waitlist. In 2024, we were able to offer 1,517 applicants from the waitlist. In 
2023, we were unable to offer any applicants from the waitlist.  In 2022, we were able to offer 2,458 applicants from the waitlist. In 
2021, we were able to offer 3,286 applicants from the waitlist. In 2020 we were able to offer 3,961 applicants from the waitlist. In 
2019 we were unable to make any offers. As you can see, the number of students ultimately receiving offers from the waitlist is 
highly unpredictable and varies each year.

[i]Vtech is saying they received 58,000 applications and expect 7,251 acceptances, which is ~12.5%
They don't say how many students they sent acceptances.[/i]

I wonder why they don't share that when you can google and find it on their website.

57,756 applications last year
31,515 accepted

If 4,485 were waitlist acceptances, that means 27,030 accepted before.
