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

I thought the only had an associates degree for engineering. [/quote]

say what? DS entered in aerospace engineering at UVA and is now at Princeton for a P.hd in electrical engineering. Ignore the idiots who couldn't get in long ago and have no idea how Jim Ryan has improved the engineering schools over the last 8 years[/quote]

Are you all joking? 
UVA is the oldest University engineering program in the USA. [/quote]

That would be West Point.[/quote]

I had to laugh at the PP's response.  UVA is *never* even mentioned among historic (or even current) engineering schools.  It's a non-entity.  [/quote]

UVA is ranked 38 out of 199 top engineering programs in the US by USNWR. My DS went through it and is now working on a DPhil at Oxford. She's received seven unsolicited job offers already.[/quote]

You've told us this story countless times.  An engineering program ranked 38 is NOT a top program.  Please stop pretending otherwise.  [/quote]

In the top 18% of engineering programs is not a top program? How so?[/quote]
