I assume if you didn’t make it past the first round of the Davenport Scholarship, the more likely you might get denied or waitlisted. That would be my kid. His rejection from that review came back so fast that I feel they looked at his application and saw the big X on it so it went quickly into the reject pile! lol! I’m telling my son to keep his chin up no matter what the decision is today. Luckily, he has some wonderful options already. We will see.
I wouldnt get too upset about it and especially dont assume your son wont get in. This is engineering isnt it? There are so many qualified students and i guess they dont give many of these so they may look at just top scores and move on from there.
Should we start to check the portal around 4:30 or wait until 5? Everyone must be so anxious at this point.
I’ve been checking since 9am, so…
I think i checked on last years CC and it looked like around 4:45 the posts started. I would think 4:30 may be a safe bet
Results are out!
Results are posted. My son was excepted into engineering. He’s so excited!!
What were his stats, if I may ask?
Accepted OOS!! Undeclared in business
Nothing posted for us yet?? Is that a bad sign?
OOS DS accepted into engineering. 4/4 on his applied schools. Penn State topping the list right now as we are in PA so ~10K/yr difference. We have family in Roanoke, so VT was high on the list too. Congratulations to everyone who was accepted!
Accepted OOS engineering!
My son was wait-listed in COE. I’m stunned to be quite honest.
OOS in NC
SAT 1370
Top 10% of class(Will graduate a year early)
4.0 GPA UW / 4.7W
Varsity sports and PT job
Community service
He is VERY excited as VT was in his top 2 with NCSU.
My son was deferred from ED to EA and was waitlisted for business. Unlikely they’ll be pulling from the waitlist this year, right?
They said: Last year, we were unable to make offers from the wait list. In 2018 we were able to offer 1896 from our wait list. In 2017 we were unable to make any offers. In 2016, we were able to offer 1697 students from our wait list. In 2015 we made no offers from the wait list. As you can see, the number of students ultimately receiving offers from the wait list is highly unpredictable and variable.
Decision: Waitlisted
Engineering
Out of State

Good luck to all of those YESES out there, VT is a great school.

Lots of service hours (not much leadership there, though)
Will have 7 AP classes when all is done (4 last year, 3 this year)

LEGACY
Daughter was accepted IS. Agriculture & Life Sciences. Waiting on Honors College (Early Action and Regular Decision notifications will be posted by March 15, 2020) and Financial Aid (says package should be available in a few weeks.)
Congrats to all that received good news!
We all expect VT to make their waitlist pool much bigger this year in order to have better handle on over-enrollment issue from last year. For those are waitlisted, keep your hope alive!
Waitlisted OOS engineering. I’m shocked.
