Apparently there are live event broadcasts that are taking place on April 4.
If you dig deep into the criteria that the different ratings groups use, you’ll see how varied those “ratings” can be. CWUR’s criteria for major specific ranking is based solely on the number of articles that have been published in what they consider to be top journals. (FWIW - VT appeared in Aerospace Eng. top 10 and Penn State was not listed in any Eng top 10). Not sure if it’s still part of their deal, but USNWR used to include amount of money donated back to the school by alums. So schools with wealthy students/alums and/or larger student populations can skew higher in some cases. Some ratings also use offer rate, and there’s plenty of universities that pad/overpromote applying so that their offered rate remains at a low level that catches USNWR’s eye - especially the private schools.
@HokieCrazy Right, my son did put his deposit down on Penn State back in February, but is still deciding. I’m hoping Hokie Focus can help him decide.
? Hokie Focus - you mean virtual tours online
@cbl1 They are doing Hokie Focus virtually.
Have you gone through all the Virtual Visit stuff posted already.

On April 4 they will be doing more interactive Q&A’s with prospective students
You may already know all of this
My D just made her decision to commit to VT - yeah! 
She spent quite a few hours narrowing to her final 2 choices - VT and Purdue and did a lot of online research, virtual tours and just checking out student videos on YouTube - which gave a good sense for the student body and cultures at each college.
So now she has applied to Hypatia LLC for Women in Engineering in Lee Hall and super excited to be a Hokie!
