<p>archguy, congrats on also getting into the Architecture program, I thought I would get denied from that specific major. Also wasn’t expecting to hear back this early, but not at the top of my acceptances so far (UNC Chapel Hill and Clemson (plus their Honors Program and scholarship money) are ahead of VT).</p>
<p>sports guy, You have some fine choices in schools; can’t go wrong with any of those! BTW, did Clemson ever fill their chair positions in both Arch and Landscape Arch? There seemed to be quite a bit of turnover going on at that school when we were looking. Just curious what has transpired in the last year.</p>

<p>KandKsmom - Thanks for the kind words. I haven’t finally decided where to go though. (Accepted to PSU, and still waiting for Syracuse and Carnegie Mellon. But Tech is still a possibility!)</p>
<p>Chelsea, you should get into Honors pretty easily. I noticed you said you were into equestrian, so make sure you check out VT’s equestrian team if you’re on the fence about where to go. Both people I know in it seem to really like it, and there’s a show ring right off campus along with a couple farms where you can keep horses a little bit further from campus.</p>
<p>Thanks Chuy! I will do that for sure, my horse actually lives relatively nearby at Virginia Intermont College (long story) so I’m considering moving him closer to me if I go to VPI. Hoping I get into Honors!</p>
