@Gudmom Thanks for sharing your story, and yes, the more we talk to others, the more we found out how VT engineering experience and brand is treasured. Looks more and more likely that DS will be joining your daughter in VT. BTW, VT engineering has advanced to #13 this year, and I do expect it to go up even further in the future.
Last but not least, do you know what is the survival rate for Engineering and how are the intern opportunities? How big are the freshmen classes that your daughter attended?
