Instate. Engineering - Waitlisted
GPA - 3.9/4.4; 1590 SAT; Great ECs.

If this is not yield protection. I don't know what is.. (I know they don't officially practice yield protection.. I have a bridge to sell ya)

DC has admits at other higher ranked schools so no big deal but feel bad for others who were treating Tech as their first choice.

DD just got in! OOS with 4.2 Weighted GPA no test (not available to take here) in Biology. She's thrilled - she got in. She was a freshman in NOVA hs. but then we moved CA.

I am so sorry. I will pray that your DD gets off the waitlist.


I'm sorry. Encourage her to do two years community college and reapply. The money you save will be needed later for vet school.


PP here. Thanks, she has another fantastic offer from a very different school that became her #1 choice over the past 6 months. The Tech waitlist just hurts a little in the pride department. She will apply there for vet school.

This may be part of their admission strategy: not offering spots to those who won’t take them.


PP here. Yeah, but they had no way of knowing that. We even visited last February (pre-COVID) so there was definitely interest. Just one of those things.

Accepted for Chemistry! This was DD's top choice and she's absolutely thrilled.

NoVA public HS, 4.2W, 1400 SAT, 31 ACT, lots of IB classes (honestly not sure how many?) but not the diploma

On a positive note, there are still many, many choices out there. Plenty of other in-state and OOS options to consider. Some small private schools are still accepting rolling apps and with merit, could be financially competitive.

Accepted for business!

3.9 UW/ 4.3 W at FCPS, 1460 SAT, 7 APs

However, we feel bad for DS's friend who had similar stats but was waitlisted for the business school.

It's a weird year.

For those who were not accepted - this year is turning out to be a VERY tough year - I am not believing some of the stats I am seeing here - somewhat like the disbelief with the stats and rejections or deferrals for UVA this year

Admissions rates by major are here: https://udc.vt.edu/irdata/data/students/admission/index

You have to toggle on the right to "College Department Major" and then use the boxes on the left to select Bachelors.

Animal Science had a 86% admissions rate last year.
