I believe most schools don’t like to release them until 330 to 4 because they don’t want it happening while kids are in school
4:00 on Friday is the optimal time. High school is out for the day and the AOs are gone for the weekend!
Does anyone know if they send out an email once the decisions are out, or does that email take a fews hours later to come out? Will be checking my portal after school, but if an email comes out I won’t have to. Also, does anyone know if they send out acceptance packages the next week?
Good luck to all the hopeful Hokies out there!
On pins and needles here! My son wouldn’t give me his portal login so I have to wait until he checks!! :((
Good luck everyone!
@janyon How selfish of your son! ???
Anyone know the possible outcomes today? I’m thinking ‘Accepted’ ‘Denied’ or ‘Deferred’
Anyone know for sure?
@STEM2017 Do you think they’ll do deferrals with RD being released in 11 days?
I would assume defer is a lot like waitlist in this case. But a waitlist with more than normal slots.
I had heard they won’t accept mid year grades being sent so not a typical defer.
Doesn’t make since to defer you, I would hope they are done with RD if they release in 11 days, what could change in 11 days. I would think you would be waitlisted, accepted or denied EA.
@mamma1st It would make NO sense to defer kids for 11 days, but who knows what they are thinking and why.
what time is it coming out?
We would expect between 4 and 5
@hopefulhoney they should be released at 5 pm. Maybe sooner. No one knows. I hope the portal doesn’t crash with everyone checking.
I know, right?! :))
And of course, he has a swim meet after school, a jazz competition after that - so I won’t see him to talk to him until late! So painful…
Hi again! Please where are you getting the information that says release time is 5, or 4-5? I am just curious.
i’m fairly certain i’m going to get deferred. my stats are more than good enough (1520 SAT 4.2 GPA top 10%), but there was an issue with my SRAR and they didn’t receive it until mid january, well past the EA deadline. so even though everything else was on time, i feel that i might be deferred. at least i don’t have to wait more than two weeks if so.
This information isn’t posted anywhere. Multiple people have posted their conversations with Admissions and they consistently report that decisions will be released on Feb 22 by 5:00pm. All other times are purely guesses.
Twitter page of admissions says BEFORE 5:00 pm today…
The Virginia tech admission twitter account says decisions will be posted by 5 tonight, in the past they have come out around 4. If they gave an exact time their servers would crash with that many people logging on at the same time.
