Virginia Tech is a big winner in Amazon HQ2 announcement

https://vt.edu/innovationcampus/news/story.html

“As part of its plan to increase undergraduate enrollment to 30,000 students, Virginia Tech also will increase undergraduate enrollment by 2,000 students in computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, and related disciplines at its Blacksburg campus over the next eight years.”

Will I (applied ED to the CoE) with comp sci/ comp E interests have increased chances now?

GMU is setting up pretty well too.

@hunchojack given that this increase is happening over the next 8 years, and that the amazon hq decision was just announced, I would very much doubt that the current batch of applications is really impacted at all in any meaningful way.

In the medium term it’ll definitely help, as it will help SUNYs in NYS - and re excelsior
