<p>Do I pick General Engineering for majors on the application since it's in the engineering school? Very misleading. </p>
<p>yes</p>
<p>Wow, that means I’ll have to bring my A game for this app. I figured Comp Sci was easier to get into than the engineering majors. This and GMU were my only safeties 
</p>
<p>Unfortunately, no. It is part of Engineering. Rare to hear of someone calling VT a safety school. You must have an outstanding GPA / standardized test scores / rigorous class schedule. Wishing you the best.</p>
<p>We consider it a safety for D1 (3.8 UW, all-H/AP, 2250+, IS). </p>
<p>VT is bigger than UVA and W&M combined, remember. It is not only easier to get into, VT has MANY more seats to fill, and only a small portion of IS students choose it when also offered admission to one of the other two top public schools here.</p>
<p>OP: yes, CS is in the college of engineering, so you must apply to the college of engineering.</p>
<p>You can also major in Business Information Technology in the Pamplin College of Business. Take a look:</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Well, it WAS an in-the-bag safety for me (VA resident, 4.2 weighted, 760 CR 700 M SATS, 780 Math II 730 Physics subject tests, mediocre ECs though). Now that I hear I’m applying for the college of engineering, it just went from a safety to a match.</p>
<p>You will be fine. S2 had the same GPA; higher Math SAT but lower CR SAT and was accepted ED. I’m sure you will have a choice among colleges - make your decision based upon personal fit rather than magazine ranking. </p>
