<p>yeah, I’ll make it open to see if it helps, but again if you need to join it just send me the email you used. I’ll see what i can do to fix it not coming up. it may be cause theres only like 12 people lol</p>
<p>UPDATE***</p>
<p>Okay so i put two tags on it. “Virginia Tech” and “Fall” it wouldnt let me tag transfer or 2014 but that should help. Also, “closed” and “open” are pretty much the same thing except in an open group anyone can see posts.</p>
<p>ANOTHER UPDATE*** :)) lol</p>
<p>I made another facebook just so i could search it. Type in the EXACT words “Virginia Tech Transfer Fall 2014” and it shows up… it has about 18 members or so as of now.</p>
<p>Hey quick question, I am going to enroll in NVCC next year and plan on majoring in either Finance/Econ.
I was wondering how hard is it to get into Pamplin?
Also is it possible to apply to more than 1 school? (Apply to Pamplin for Finance/Econ and/or Apply to Science for Econ)</p>
<p>@CcDudee, from other posts on this site, I would think if you get a 3.5 in your freshman year at NVCC you’ll be golden. Even grades a little less are getting in.</p>
<p>@ccawealthofinfo idk about that. I have a 3.71 gpa from NVCC and I got rejected, not even waitlisted. I really don’t understand what Virginia Tech is looking for, but oh well, I’m hoping for an acceptance letter from UVa now!</p>
<p>@RoyalFreshness32 sorry to hear about that. You were applying to Pamplin? There are several posters in this group that transferred into VT, even Engineering, with GPA’s below 3.7. Hopefully most or all of your NVCC courses mapped to VT courses since that is just as important as your GPA. The good news for you is that when you complete your 2nd yr at NVCC and get your Associate’s, then you can get in via the guaranteed admission (aka “Articulation Agreement”) since I think you only need a 3.4.</p>
<p>Weird to see some of you being rejected. I got into the college of engineering with a 3.61 GPA coming out of an out of state community college. I’ll share what my application looked like. </p>
<p>-3.61 GPA with an upward trend (Got B’s and C’s first two quarters, but last three quarters I’ve earned straight A’s)
-Founder of my community college’s engineering club
-Acting president of said engineering club
-Continually employed, some part time some full time, for the past three years
-Phi Theta Kappa member
-I applied super early, as soon as the application opened </p>
<p>The only thing that makes me stand out is founding an engineering club. I think I mostly just got lucky. I guess my advice would be to get involved with your current school’s community. My GPA was pretty average, definitely below average for admitted engineering students, so it looks like Virginia Tech cares a lot about extra curricular activities. I was also admitted into University of Maryland, which is even more competitive for transfer students. Best of luck to all of you! </p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am transfering to Virginia tech for 2014 Summer 2. Because I am an international student, I planned to back to my country during this summer. Many student may ask about pre-requisite courses which are ENGE 1024 & ENGL 1104 OR ENGE 1114.</p>
<p>so, what if I am not taking theses course during this summer, then I should take theses classes separately throughout Fall 2014, and Spring 2015 as what I am understanding. If so, should I take just CLE (curricular liberal arts class) requirements in Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 with just pre-requisite engineering course? Or any other courses that available during taking these pre-requisite courses above?</p>
<p>Because I have completed almost for freshman and sophomore courses, except for ENGE 1024 and ENGL 1104 in my current college, so that there are not many courses that I would like to take. </p>
<p>It would be the best to take engineering courses during summer? </p>

<p>I got in to Pamplin for Business IT with a 3.1, however that’s because I was taking a 5 credit math course (I got a C in it). They asked for my Spring mid-semester grades and I had all A’s (including applied calculus, which is business calc). Also, I’m not sure how competitive BIT is vs. Finance/Econ at Tech.</p>
<p>But I think what they look for is at least a 3.0 (that’s what they say is competitive for transfers), improvement, overall good standing in classes that are important to your major, the degree of difficulty of your classes (like P.E vs. Astro-physics), and whether or not the credits you take transfer over<-- super important. Also any extracurricular/work/certification you have is helpful. Write a passionate kick-ass essay and do everything as early as possible.</p>
<p>It’s obviously best to work hard and get that high GPA just so you don’t have to worry like I did. But don’t be discouraged if you don’t have perfect grades. If there is a will there is a way. Best of luck to you! </p>
<p>P.S.
If you go to the Annandale NVCC and have to take Macro/Micro Econ take it with Prof. Kiet Quach. Best professor ever, if you don’t believe me just look him up on ratemyprofessors. I’m taking him right now and he’s the man. </p>
<p>To everyone else who was still waiting for a response after many of us found out on Wednesday night/ Thursday morning, have you all heard back yet?</p>
<p>Hey guys I have a question, Im doing well in all my classes except for bio. Its not even related to my major but tech needed two consecutive sciences so I took it.I got my letter today and it said a C can make them withdraw admission. My bio teacher is basically like awful I was doing good until the last test, 90% of the class failed. I think with the final I will probably come out of that class with a C. Does anyone know how strict their policy is with having a C in class even if its not related to your major? </p>
<p>@vtesl2014 When I asked similar questions earlier today the admissions representative I spoke with said that they are mainly concerned if you receive a ‘D’ or an ‘F’ as far as withdrawing an offer of admission. I was worried as I may end up with a ‘B’ or a ‘C’ in a class because of the numerous class cancellations due to inclement weather this winter forced the instructor to move too quickly through the material and everyone in the class is suffering. They also recommended I contact my district counselor to discuss it with them, so I sent off an e-mail and am waiting on a response.</p>
<p>@ccawealthofinfo I applied to the engineering school. I am a Computer Science major. I’m assuming their engineering school is much harder to get into than the other schools</p>
<p>@vtesl2014 If you go to the website (follow the link), you’ll see that they only mention that grades lower than a “c” can cause them to withdraw admission. I got my info in the mail today too, saw that, and got a bit worried because I’m in a situation very similar to yours. Though I’m not positive that my grade in one of my courses will be as low as a “c”, I wanted to do a little more investigating. I hope this helps! Looking forward to hearing from @SteveMSE about the response to his email!

<p>I’m in the same situation! I’m almost positive I’ll receive a C though because my entire math grade solely relies on just the final exam and nothing else because of the snow days! Is that even allowed? </p>
<p>Does anybody know? :(</p>
<p>I guess there is no real way of knowing Im glad to see it wouldn’t be just me in this situation (not that Im glad you’re in a stressful situation). I think they probably put that on their letters so that they can pull the admission if they had concerns a C every now and then isnt that bad and I had the same thing with the snow days so Im sure they would be understanding. I think if you get a C just email them right away with a really good reason and stuff. It did say below a C if its not an in major class. Good luck on exams everyone and hopefully it won’t come down to that for anyone. I think since GPA’s get wiped when you transfer they don’t want people just giving up once they have been accepted so they put it there to keep you working hard! </p>
<p>@SteveMSE it says don’t get a C IF it is a class for your major. For example, if you are taking a math class and you are a math major than you shouldn’t get a C.</p>
<p>BUT if you are an IT major and you are taking a math class, than you should be fine with a C, but not get a D.</p>
<p>I’m a music major so it shouldn’t matter too much if I get a C in my math class</p>
<p>Here is the response I received:</p>
<p>“Congratulations on your offer of admission. Earning B’s in your coursework will not be a problem. Earning below that may make a difference – it will depend upon which courses the C’s are in.”</p>
<p>I’m double stressed now because the class I’m having the most trouble with is a calculus class. The weather has had a severe impact on the class and we are rolling through material at breakneck speeds. I was hoping for an A in the class and confident in attaining a B but at the speed we’ve moved through material and having 3 tests in the last 3 weeks of class is really killing my ability to learn the material. I was accepted to CoE and would expect that all mathematics classes are of utmost importance to them. I posed a questions in response to the above e-mail to get a little more insight, and will let everyone know what I receive in response. </p>
<p>It makes sense, though, that they don’t want you to just start coasting once you have an admission decision but hopefully if I do end up with a C that they take into consideration that I didn’t coast and that I was up against difficult circumstances.</p>
<p>Good luck to all on finals.</p>
<p>Hey guys, quick question, has anyone accepted the matriculation fee?
If you have, when did you start receiving emails about creating a student PID and all that other stuff because that’s apparently supposed to happen. I accepted mine yesterday so I assume there’s a couple days before I will start getting those emails. I’m just curious.</p>
