@cbl1 It was sent in an email with the title: “Virginia Tech Hokie Focus, now in your house!”
There are also instructions for attending a virtual Hokie Focusseesion for your intended major on April 4.
thx. Since my daughter already accepted she must be removed from their recruitment emails.
My son got a VT package in the mail today with a drawstring bag, a coupon to the Hokie Shop, and a kind letter. Very nice gesture!
pghmom72 - are you outside Virginia
I’ve noticed my daughter keeps getting little tokens of stuff from out of state schools recruiting. Georgia and Clemson have both sent her gifts last few weeks.
I wonder if these type things only go to the out of state applicants (who pay a much more hefty pricetag on tuition).
@cbl1 we live in PA. I think it was for kids who registered for the Hokie Focus tour.
@cbl1 Penn State hasn’t sent him anything except for the initial acceptance packet, so maybe there’s some truth to your theory!
My daughter needs to go on the clemson, NC state, SC, georgia etc. sites and withdrawl her name … I don’t think she has done that.
My daughter has decided to go with Virginia Tech. I made her withdraw her name immediately as there many excellent students on waitlists who are eager for a spot. Plus two of them are my alma maters 
Great to hear about your daughter!
I need to find out what my daughter has done and make sure she has withdrawn here other applications (she may have - she is pretty good about this stuff).
@mindfulmom Yes, that is exactly what kids should do once they have made their decision, thank you!
I got off the waiting list at the University of South Carolina which was my top choice so I will be declining the VT offer as soon as I get my official acceptance and can put down a deposit. I hope this will open a spot for someone else!
congrats!
I did confirm my daughter did put in her declines at all the other colleges. Maybe you got her South Carolina decline 
My son just declined his offer at South Carolina, as well as Pitt and Kentucky. Still waiting out Clemson’s waitlist. Will likely put a deposit down at VT and decline PSU’s offer.
Congrats for getting in to SC. I just saw they are delaying signing up for orientation. I have a feeling that may be done virtually
When can students rank their housing and choose their roommate?
First. Make sure you have logged into starrez and signed your housing contract. That gets you in line for dorm selection.
You don’t rank your housing. When your time comes for selection you go online and choose your room from available dorms.
Now roommates. Two ways. If you find someone you want to room with then … the roommate who did their housing contract first goes into starrez and creates a roommate group. Then the other student goes in and joins the roommate group created. Then when the roommate who selects first goes online to pick their room the system will let them place both people in the room.
The alternative is if you don’t have a roommate ahead of time. Go online to select a room and pick an empty room (meaning someone else will come on and add themselves to your room). Or select a room that already has first person in it (you can read their profile) so your then selecting them.
Awesome!! Thank you. Do you know when room selection normally becomes available to those who have filled out their housing contract?
Room selection starts toward very end of June and into mid-July normally.
@cbl1 thank you for explaining this! We are putting down deposit at VT today.
Congratulations! You all are going to love it!!! Go Hokies!
