Anyone know if the notification date for EA will also change? I couldn’t find it on their website. Previous years, with an EA deadline Nov 15, notification was mid Feb.

Says Late-Feb here!

Thank you! I missed that!

Anyone submit app yet? Did so on Monday and now its Friday… no follow-up yet to set up a portal. anyone else have a long delay like this?

Interesting that you haven’t received any email confirmation to set up a portal and STAR. That makes me nervous about S26’s timeline to submit his VT app!

This may be a stupid question, but I’m looking at the portal and I don’t see anything about self reported test scores or a link to report them. Does anybody know how this works if you chose to have them used. My kid reported his score on his common application and said yes to them being included. The only things on his checklist are the App and the STARS. Just making sure he didn’t miss anything. EDIT: In case anyone else is wondering the same thing, I just looked at their website. In order for scores to be viewed, you can report them on STARS, on the Common App, or upload a score report in the portal.

I believe virginia tech uses STARS which allows you report both courses and scores. Even if you use common app they will still want you to use STARS after submission, if I remember from last year. It used to be called SRAR when my kids applied.

it came in 5-6 days post submission. That seemed a bit long. But all good now.
