Actually, around 72% of applicants are admitted. Here is the link from VT site. Choose Applications, Offers then the College of Engineering. It will open the historical data for Applied, Admits and Enrolled. Also, it shows the average GPA, SAT, etc. This is specific to the COE. BTW you apply to Engineering at VT, not a specific major initially. After your first year, you apply to a particular major within COE. Hope this helps.
