Does it mean anything in particular if you don’t get your decision today?
I got in, engineering, but I haven’t heard anything about honors. I read somewhere (and it’s on old VT threads) that it comes out on April 15. I think I saw that on the VT site, but I haven’t been able to find it again, so it’s not fact.
I got accepted!! Pamplin college of business for accounting! I’m so excited. I didn’t think I would find out this early
My S just got in! So proud since VT is very much in play for a future alma mater.

General Comments: VT is definitely the place for me! Just payed my admission fee and beyond hype to be a Hokie!!! Congratulations to everyone was accepted and good luck to all those finding out next month!
My son is a senior and I have been following CC, but just joined this great community.
Very happy to see that he has been offered admission for Engineering at Virginia Tech!
We have been checking the website all evening, but could not find the decision until now.
To find out the decision ,
- log in to your account, it brings up “Application Information”.
- When you click that, it opens the “Application Menu” .
- From that page, click on “Fall 2015”( listed under admission term) and then it opens
up " View Application Summary" and you can see the decision in maroon… hope it helps people like us who have been struggling to figure this out.

How do you know if you got into Engineering? My D put Engineering as her first choice, and University Studies as her second major? I hope it’s engineering!
@collegeplease123 Someone called and was told that people who were accepted today got into their first choice major. So if your D was accepted today, she got into Engineering! Congrats to her.
Wow congratulations to all! Are they still sending out acceptances now? Will they continue to send out notifications after this date up to March 20? I’m a bit confused on this. Thanks so much. I have not heard anything from them. I applied for Graphic Design and I’m OOS as well.
@Marimew They announced in an email that they were doing two batches of decisions, one in February and one in March. If I had to guess you’ll probably get your decision in March.
Ah, darn… Okay. Thanks a bunch.
I have heard some colleges send free gear along with the acceptance packet, such as a t-shirt or scarf! Does anyone know if VT does this? And congrats to all accepted!

His essay was about being crew chief at Philmont last summer on ‘very strenuous’ 100+ mile trek. Two of my friends, former Hs english teacher and former AdCon at prestigious LAC, thought it completely represented who he is and schools would either want him or not based on it.
Congrats everyone! My S was accepted to Pamplin Business School with Finance Major. Stats are similar to everyone that has posted with JROTC 4 years, Certified Soccer Referee Grade 8 for 5 years, many missions trips and student excahnges. We didn’t know about the Cadet Program-sounds great! Anyone have a student who will participate? I’m also waiting for scholarship notice as well…
What have people heard about past merit aid? Due to an early retirement/downsizing severance package which paid out in Jan 2014, our EFC is very high and unlikely to garner much aid. We’ve kept the payout quite liquid to fund future college expenses, which further increases the EFC.
