The more prestigious colleges may be trying to game their ranking by driving down acceptance rates (increase apps wout increases in spots)

Frankly, I don’t think VT wants more applications. Any person I’ve interacted with from admissions makes it sound like they are overwhelmed & have plenty of options to fill their class.

I have a kid at Tech and another one who has applied this year. We have never once gotten anything as snail mail and I believe we have only received one or two emails prior to being accepted

Fill this out to verify your info: https://www.vt.edu/admissions/forms/inquiry.html

Be advised VT doesn’t sent much outreach because they don’t need to, you’ll apply regardless.

You’re welcome

Do you remember if you officially registered for the tour? You might want to call admissions and ask.

Question for parents of current juniors, our child visited Virginia Tech as a sophomore. We also visited several other colleges in the state and out of state. We’re getting weekly emails and several physical mailings from all the other colleges except Virginia Tech. We’re wondering if this is normal for them or if somehow they didn’t get registered as officially attending the visit/tour somehow?
