ps - Honors isn’t as big a deal at VT as it is at some schools, meaning the Honors program isn’t as well developed, but being in Galileo the first year will definitely benefit your son. Also, if he has taken Calc BC, do not advise him to re-take calc 2 as a GPA boost. It is probably the most work of any class he will take in engineering. That was probably the best peice of advice DD received going in - from 3 different people. If he does take it though, the good thing about Galileo is that everyone is taking the same classes and has tests at the same time, so temptation to party when you should be studying is low, and there is always some one to ask if you get stuck on a problem set.
