Waitlisted for Pamplin College of business. I moved from Russia a year ago, so my English is not Very good. Sorry for any incorrect spelling.
Virginia Tech is my dream school, my sister graduated from Tech in 2018. I don’t know how to react to being waitlisted because I knew that my stats are not that good as they should be. However, I did try to improve them, but school in US is so different, it was difficult.
In state(I am a citizen of US, I just never lived here)

@VirginiaDad1girl – my son’s Honors College acceptance was listed in his portal – but it wasn’t obvious. Go to the Application Summary Page & scroll all the way down past the deposit button & past the section entitled “Current Program”. Under that section, my son’s portal has a section called “Requirements” where it states:
Honors College Decision 02/19/20 Offered. The Honors College will mail acceptance info soon.
Under that, it does say HC decisions will be posted by 3/15/20, so maybe it’s a rolling process?
@HokieCrazy That is what I’m thinking. The whole college admission process at times makes no sense though. It could be that they had filled their quota for students just like him living in the same region. I saw kids get accepted to Ivy League schools and not their state school. Who knows?? I’m sure he has some amazing offers already in hand. And you never know, VT could come through for him in the next couple of months.

Does anyone have any info on merit scholarships who has been accepted - there is nothing I can find in our Ds portal on these?
Im not sure if Im the only one, but my admissions portal isn’t saying if I was accepted, denied, or waitlisted. All it says it processed applications: undeclared degree, general engineering.

Pretty good recs, essays were also good considering how short they had to be!!
Not to sound ~arrogant~ but I am a little surprised, especially considering other schools I’ve gotten into (UVA, JMU Honors, etc). Can anyone provide some insight into what could’ve gotten me accepted?? I’m really curious!!
I think there are some people like you. My friend does not have a decision either
We heard the same thing when he got deferred at Wisconsin. How about you just accept him and let him choose. So disappointing!
Did you try to click the Link “Fall 2020” below Processed Applications → Admission Term?

@avalaanchee Applying ED may have made a difference. Schools that have a binding ED opportunity definitely keep track of the history re: EA/RD high-stats applicants and whether they ultimately matriculate to the school. You may very well have been considered as having VT as a safety, so they mya have passed over you for a more likely statistical match.
Just to clarify…I assume that there is NO chance of being pulled off wait-list before May 1st, right? They need all the numbers in hand before they decide? That basically means accepting an offer somewhere else and putting a deposit down…and then switching at some point between May and July 1st? I’m so angry at my own alma mater, right now!!
@ShenVal18 I guess this makes sense, and it wasn’t my top choice so maybe they could sense that? still a little frustrating
