Doesn’t VT admit all engineering aspirants to General Engineering and assign major only during sophomore year? do they have direct-to-major admission?
Yes, I was admitted to General engineering with the intent of pursuing Mechanical Engineering in my sophomore year.
ok. how difficult or easy is it to get admitted to one’s intended major at the end of freshman year?
If I recall, a 3.0 gpa at the end of freshman year will get you your choice of engineering major. If it is lower than that, you have to apply (and may not get into an in-demand major).
Thanks. Is this stated somewhere on VT website?
Thanks
Yes - mine says in the acceptance letter: “General Engineering with an interest in Mechanical Engineering”.
My son decided to go elsewhere, but I wish all of the best to all of the future VT enrollees. Good luck.
Am thinking of applying EA next year. What date did it end up release decisions?
EA decisions came out Feb 19. If you scroll up in this thread you can see the EA decision posts (this was originally the EA thread but mods changed the title and now it’s one long thread for all decisions).

Son just got in off the waitlist tonight–Super excited! We want to go see it again before he makes his final choice (already deposited elsewhere), but it looks like everything is cancelled in person. Does anyone know if the campus is at least open to the public for us to walk around ?
