So sorry! I really think major has a lot to do with it. Engineering is such a competitive major.

Quick question: If I got in today through EA, can I add an update to my application for consideration to the scholars programs, or is it too late? Thank you!!

I don’t usually post on these threads but this was her stretch school and I really appreciated those who posted stats to gauge chances. She’s excited but is waiting to see if any merit will come. She has some really great financial incentives at some other schools. Good luck to all!

My DS, was rejected as a “non-Virginian,” but he was born and raised in Virginia. Is this how homeschoolers are identified? I seem to recall a homeschooled classmate last year also listed as a “non-Virginian.”
