It should be a likely for your out-of-state student. I’m not familiar with NC State stats for out of staters (we are in state), but state law limits a maximum of 18% of out-of-state students enrolled, so keep that in mind.
OP here -- I've always had the impression that VT was more a technical school (the name I guess) rather than a traditional college. Don't know that much about it.
And thanks for the info on NC State out of state percentages. I knew that about UNC but didn't realize it was state-wide.
DP. VT has seven colleges - only one of them is Engineering. It is very much a traditional university with a thriving liberal arts college, among others.

NC State will be an admission and it's a great school to get a job from.However for Football the stadium is no where near campus and a pain in the butt. OOS students are only about 12% which makes it very hard to make friends. Again NC State Eng. jobs, jobs, jobs and centinal campus for the engineers is very nice.
1. Why Hell no Ohio State? (don't know that much about it so honestly asking)
2. Is a Villanova or Notre Dame engineering grad at a disadvantage career-wise? Again, DS isn't looking for an MIT-like intense environment.
It was probably a Michigan alum giving the opinion on Ohio State. Notre Dame and Villanova will both get the job done. They are small programs, which might be what your son wants. I can't imagine paying private school tuition for an engineering degree from Villanova, but if it's the best fit for your son and you can afford it, then it would get the job done.

This is literally straight from their official website. Not from some phone screenshot someone took and posted it on reddit. lol
The website cites 2024 data. But if you look at the FAQ they cite 34%.

What to believe? I stick with the document handed to me on admitted students day.
Cool. But, I'm going by the official website published by the University. Going back to the OP. It is within the OP's kids likely target zone and they should apply if they are interested in spending four years at West Lafayette, Indiana.
You pick. Either way still a target for OP's kid.

NC State actually might be harder than the numbers indicate (unless you have specific OOS numbers) because of the cap on OOS students. I'm not sure it's an admit especially for engineering.Anonymous wrote:1. Ohio State??? Hell no.
