FYI-
Son was accepted (as senior in HS) into Engineering at VT. Told you are not officially in engineering though until you take that first engineering class (engineering exploration, if I remember correctly.)
As I stated, it was the admissions/advising (can't remeber which since it was last spring, but i would guess admissions) that told me via phone that engineering exploration fills up quickly and not enough slots so that son would not get it until sophomore year. She suggested he plan on taking it at a local community college (to VT) instead.
Can only report what I was told. This does not make it so of course. Maybe they are giving out bad info in the admissions office.
AS for my friends son 9and I got this from her) he needed the math class. As we know, not many electives in the engineering curriculum so I guess there was nothing else to take until he got this class completed. I suppose it was his option to stay or be home 9and save $$$ as he is OOS too) for the semester.
No knock on VT meant at all. Posted this just to warn others. Get the info ahead before you commit. Call the engineering dept directly (can't remember if I did this or it was admissions) to verify when you can expect to take the engineering explorations class and how it may affect you.
Also, from being on the VT threads often last year, Chuy has always provided lots of useful info. Hopefully I just got the wrong person on the phone and it will not be a problem for any of you.
Good luck at VT or wherever you end up.
