Yeah i feared that too if i would've gotten in
Same but I’m not looking to go through that
that’s fair
Gl tho
Same i just wanna be able to atleast pass now. Highschool did me bad 😦
MIT and Yale
gl bro
Gl brother
if we both get MIT let’s room together
Probably not gonna get into either but 🫡
What major you choosing?
I don’t think you can room with different sexes (assuming ur a girl)
Same. It's too competitive
I think u actually can at MIT
only certain halls tho
I don't think most of the prestigious colleges allow that
Oh dang
Penn does
naw I swear I read that there is coed dorm rooms at MIT
Upenn or Penn State?
ofc you have to actively pick that option and stuff
UPenn
Yeah
It does? Damn that's actually very nice.
What’s ur current top choice
does waitlist come out with regular decision or later
I think it’s on a rolling basis
Did you have good ECs
No
Baseball Robotics and like 3 honors societies
That’s about it
And my essays sucked
And course rigor sucked, only 4 total APs in high school
Idk what happened tbh
did you have a good gpa relative to your school
for schools I got into that would be purdue
in general it’s mit
you got into mit?
Top 8% but my school is historically not too competitive with it being bottom 50% in NJ
3.8 UW/4.4 W
virginia colleges are pretty stingy with aid
yeah that might be why
well uva does give pretty good aid
thats pretty much most schools
Purdue is good
Instate or oos
You should join the Virgins though
Bruh 
real
wut does honors get u anayway
damn yall fr almost done i still got like 18 decisions LOL
ah ic
well i aint get it so
1 more for me and it’s on friday
uf?
Yep
gl
ion even wanna go to uf i just hate getting rejected xD
Usually accompanied with more scholarship but ig not
fair enough
I didn’t really wanna go to UF until I got rejected from my top 2
this the main thing i was thinkin bout
I would’ve gone to VT but too much money
which ones
ye aid sucks balls
UVA/GaTech
UF is just so good for value
so im chillin for now vt is a good bench mark to hv tho
I only did 9 but I only really wanted to go to 3 of them, my mom made me apply to like 5 random schools
I got rejected from 2 of the 3 I wanted to go to and VT is just too much money
deferred
oh gl then
ye vt aid ass
wait so if it’s rolling basis will it be before or after regular decision for waitlist
Fuck I realized I could’ve applied for uf as instate
wuts rolling?
o u mean waitlist decisions
mm does she file taxes in florida?
or sumn like that
im pre sure thats wut matters for in state eligibilit
Yeah I think they filed taxes in flordia
However I talked to my parents and they would rather see me go to UVA
UVA has a strong brand which helps bring its prestige over many schools of the same caliber
Nonetheless instate tuition in florida is pure gold
yea so how would the rolling decision work
cuz i thought that tech would just release all of the waitlist after regular decision comes out
I think it’s after may 1
don’t let ur parents pressure you but at the same time uva is a valid brand
Nah they aren’t pressuring
They have a good point
i’m thinking uva will give me more aid oos than vtech
Probably
hi all, if i’m trying to visit VT should i go to the admitted student tour or go to a general tour?
id say admitted student
from what i saw the general tours are good but wont show u all that much
got to stay on campus for a week so i dead ass know that shit too well
i didnt
idfk tbh
wait sins are you going cs?
if it has anth to do with DI idk how much i couldve (tbh unintentionally) done
alr
uiuc in 2 weeks
if i get that then fuck this
tbh im kinda just making a ranking system
nah that wouldnt do that
schools above a certain rank trump others but sideways it comes down to money
I did
eng?
Yea
rn vt is the bench mark rest of my safeties dont matter
oos or instate
Instate
wut ur stats if u dont mind
nova ?
Yup
real
^^
fuck bro
Uh 1470 sat 3.99 uw gpa I think our school does gpa weird
how does my 1510 800 math 3.99 uw ass not get honors
@alpine stag how much u hv to pay
they gave me no scholarship either
shit not adding up
Yea idk
u got the 7000 one right
maybe ur essays were bad
1.7k
kinda bummed i didn’t get honors but eh 💔
u didnt get this one?
no
i didn’t get anything 
so shit bro
like what type of scholarship is that
its not even a merit scholarship
its a need-based scholarship 💀
im surprised i didnt get the va guaranteed assistance thing
i got it for GMU
damn
VT really fucked me over
thatsweird then
yeah

probably uva
oh so u didnt yet
yeah no
u waiting on anyone?
lowkey a chance gang
u hv a specific reason for yale?
like i loved the sschool but not sure for cs
yale vibe school
ig other schools are cool and all
but idk i liked yale
brown, cornell and those schools arent really what im looking for
stanford is too far away
oos?
instate
theyre exactly what i was looking for xD
was urs close to 40k?
cornell has bad mental health
i hv to pay 30 if i take work study
lmao i talked to my friend whos at coe rn and im not too concerned bout that anymore
its optional
yeah but you dont do the video and ur at a disadvantage
ye thats tru
plus my parents were getting annoyed about me applying to a lot of colleges
why were they annoyed
takes a bite in the wallet
i mean ig
ye
i dont think they care bout major
the open curriculum means u can take whatever
wait thats so W
and the essay prompt wanted to show a diversity of interest and understanding of Brown
u never know with the ivies tbh
if u have a certain lvl of stats u will at least b looked at
and then auto-rejected when they look at my ECs
no interviews for me 
lmfao ion think they were that bad iirc
i only had one that was actually cs focused
i got only 2
they were realistic no?
i mean my methodology was jus taking a typical week
thats how it should be
only thing is most my ecs were not simultaneous
but people obviously exaggerate
so if it looks like i had an insane week i mean ig but im not doing all at once
ye thats tru
i think the description matters more if anth
fr
foru
MIT????
mhm
yo nah
trust the process
my MIT application was actually good though
if u get mit cash app me a cool 100 😎
um maybe
you deserve that shit
idk looking back couldve done more
i think ill eventually get there if i want to cuz like transfer
quality is better than quantity
tru but if i had someone telling me the reality of ts then i wouldvve grinded harder
you character is more important to the eyes of the AOs
most my ecs were passion projects/ just cuz
instead of ECs
i didnt even know ecs mattered
thats good then
same\
ye thats tru
my parents never participated in the college admissions process in the US
i got my old school to send stuff to my rd colleges so like confirmation i did stuff, transcript and external exam results
so i never understood it until like last year
i realized that mightve been a factor
mine kinda did but that was a time wen it was grades only yk
yeah i see
march madness gon go crazy
praying for uiuc in 2 weeks but ion think i hv the juice for that
lol
i applied pure cs cuz i didnt know 💀
UVA gonna get the title this year
werent the nc schools like not doing well this year
idk hvnt been following
o well march madness dgaf bout form
oof
ye
could i see what your acc letter looked like
U get in uva?
ion rly track shit lmao
y if u dm
for reference i did CS in BS for UVA / and BIT for VT
basically i don’t like the CS curriculum for uva it seems very hard and depressing, vt is more centered to my goals + better food + better culture
mm fair enough
u gon commit
?
wuts bit
probably but my mom likes UVA better
i’ll wait till i tour
business / technology and i’m doing cybersecurity management
makes sense
i like vt campus but from pics uva looks more appealing
could be marketing
vt is rly good my main problems r dorms and blacksburg
the dorms range from rly good to holy fuck i have to live here for a year
one doest hv air conditioning iirc
yep
i mean in college u won’t be spending a lot of time in dorms either way
see u on campus 🤝
are you going to the admitted students tours? i want to but the dates are inconvient asf
no point for me
i was at this last summer
saw pre much the whole campus, ran on to the fb field, stayed in the dorms, used the gym the whole experience
ohhhh
wow that seems like a really good opportunity
ye if u have any black/mixed sophomores or juniors that r interestede let them know
its free as well
altho slightly competitive everyone was smart
right they’re like right when spring break starts for me 
i’ve been to campus before but i didn’t do an actual tour i just kinda wandered around for a bit and then left
so i should probably do an admitted students event but they’re so inconvenient
and campus is like four hours away from nova
y were u just down there lmao
if yall have any questions i can answer it to best of my ability
pictures of campus and dorms? so i can sense the general vibes 🫶
right
so i can go on a weekday but my parents would have to take the day off + catch up on missing work
shi i can look xD
not a big pictures person tho so
kk ty
ill dm
so like i wanted to check campus out before applying to see if i wanted to apply n what round to apply in but all the tours were full lol
so me and my dad drove down, wandered aimlessly, went “ok nice,” and then drove to uva and then home
tbh i only think VT would be a valid option over uva if you got honors eng
otherwise not really
Rd is the truth
Does anyone know the requirements to declare CS
What did you apply as
was looking for the ans to his question and like no way im doin mf chem as a cs major lmao
3.0 guarantees major (this is a pic I took at a vt program)
Thanks
Dang I like that
Man if I got honors 
Priority reg or u have anuda reason
Like I meant for y u want honors
Dorms
Not sure bout the perks I jus know bout priority reg
Ah ic
And honors is a good title to have
Real
VT is good but why did they give me nothing 😭
UVA is good tho
I got betrayed by my own blood
Can’t believe this

Ye they ain’t gimme too much lol
I mean 30k isn’t horrible
is vt better for engineering compared to umd?
No
depends
CS better
wdym
but eng
I’d say it’s opposite lol umd is arguably better for cs (rankings wise with that huge program size and apparent problems maybe not) but vt is rly good for gen eng
i see i see, i wanted to do cs but now im kind of interesred in engineering
gonna have to read up on it
I mean u start off as general engineering so u can prob change ur preference
money
LOL
also vt engineering acceptance rate is 60%
so its not that competitive
yeah so oos vt acceptance rate is 62%
instate its 49%
nice
💀
Did anyone get an email about the tech talent thing
Yea
What is that
what is "Virginia Tech's inaugural Admissions Squared"?
oh wait nvr mind
"offered admission to the Master's of Engineering in Computer Science or Computer Engineering at the new Innovation Campus (IC) in Alexandria, Virginia."
looks like its some new campus?
?
I think since I completed a bunch of math and cs courses I get automatic admission to the vtech graduate program
which makes sense since im taking a machine learning class rn
Mine said Bc I took apcs and BC calc
it means exactly as stated
idk what the point of gaurenteeing admission multiple years early does though
What CS and math courses did you take
Same but I didn’t get it wtf
Wait nvm
I got it in my spam
for math im currently doing linear and as for cs I did ai, computer vision, and am currently doing ml
same i aint get it tho
damn thas crazy i got hoed (wouldnt hv taken the offer)
Yeah that’s what I got
Hey,
Are you domestic applicant and Were you applying for master's degree?
I am an international student, I didnt get any such email. Is this campus better than main campus (blacksburg) one?
it doesn’t exist yet i don’t think
but it’ll be in the dc suburbs so it has good proximity to internship and job opportunities
Ohh I see
do we have to specifically apply for it. shall I email them to consider me?
I am currently accepted to blacksburg one
uhhh idk tbh because most of what i know about the campus is from me living nearby and i’m not engineering but i’d imagine since it’s a grad school program you can put it aside for now
Alright, Thanks
do they accept loci
Idt so
I mean they said they only accepted 15% but I feel like that ain’t tru idk 😂
yeah same lmao
They waitlisted a lot
feels too less
Ye idk
factoring yield they accepted a lot more than 15%
if they only accept as many students as there are seats and not everyone yields they can’t fill a class
The letter never said 7k people accepted
It said that there were 7k seats for 47k people
They could have accepted more
Just got informed that my friend with a 1580 and 4.5 gpa got rejected from VT instate

My friend has the same stats and got in lol
Yield rate
Not at all
domestic out of state
didn’t apply for masters, only undergrad this fall
By accepting scholarship and aid it doesn’t accept your offer right
nope its not binding
Oh Alright.
Yeah alright.
Have we talked over there or how, aah I didnt remember, anyways yeah
yeah, most probably, since it is best of my decisions. t30 for CS. The only factor is COA
COA is comparatively too high for me
I dont talk much so u probably dont remember
maybe
cool
did you also get accepted
see u there i guess
yeah
Wow, Congratulations. Yup, gonna party on campus♥️🎊
Gimme some words of encouragement
My parents r more concerned that i got deferred from UVA
tell your parents to kiss ur ass
ur college doesn’t define you
UVA smells anyway
I got rejected so you’re doing better than me
yesss
did anyone here get merit scholarships in the letter
all my other acceptances had Something so i just want to know if it’s a me problem or if i gotta apply for it in this school
Noooo
i’m oos too
yeah mine was blank. yikes
Did you do the general scholarship application
It might be for that
@alpine stag
Can International students also do that
Idk
are RD decisions gonna come by March 3rd?
last year EA released on feb 18th and rd on march 4th
this year ea was on feb 17th so im assuming rd is march 3rd?
the director of admissions will probably post something later today if that’s true
5pm.
wdym?
WDYM
2 weeks ago I think
Yeah exactly 2 weeks ago
its gonna come now right??
should be
okay it came out
yeahh
got in cs
really needed this after the UIUC L 
AYYYY CONGRATSSS
Good Afternoon
hello
15% for what?
those are just the seats, we have to take yield rate in account
GOT into BIT😁😁
keep your head high king, im sure you'll excel wherever you go ❤️
def not
💸 💸 💸
same
fr 💀
mines 15 and still full price oos 😵
instate?
Ye
OOS waitlisted :(
like physical mail? no
Ic
What does it mean by 'First-Year cadet'? Like do I have to serve lol?
this is what i got so i have no clue
HUH? 😭😭
this is my common app for VT
Isn’t that like ROTC
Not necessarily, it’s the military student body, so uniforms, formations, PT (Physical Training/Fitness)etc. There’s no military commitment post college though
It does help alot if you want to commission in the military through ROTC
Real 😭 (can I back out tho?)
it depends i fear
does the letter say you’re only admitted as a cadet and in the BIT major and that you can change after a semester
cuz the regular freshman letter is like “please note this offer is for the major listed above only”
It says this:
waitlisted oos 36/4.0UW/4.62W/12APs/4DE (incl multivariable calculus), varsity wrestling captain, vex robotics worlds qualifier, TSA national qualifier, solid essays
go gators
Honestly I’d just email them.. explain what happened 😭
Maybe they can change it
You should be able to, people drop from the Corps all the time. Email your AO or someone at the school in admissions about it probably.
Granted I don’t know how VT’s Corps of Cadets works since I’m at a different school
son what u want us to do about this
college apps are fucky and unpredictable
sometimes u just aint what they want
¯_(ツ)_/¯
nice!
Major?
Well I applied for CS but it counts as college of engineering
guys is the vt applicant portal down coz i accepted my decision yday and paid the acceptance fee and now my portal aint even loading
Scammed!
they scammed you 💀
How can I find if I got offered a scholarship
it should be in your portal under the financial tab
Are there any fin aid sessions for VT? Like are the any zoom meetings?
What are Vtech transfer policies in changing the manor?
u mean within a school?
Probably if nothing changes by next Friday school wise
Cs in engineering
Nice!
I am also thinking to commit, but I am international
Will see by the end of this month
Ah ic where from
India
Ic ic
.
best dining in usa go brrrr
ong
even better than umass-amherst?
read somewhere that vt, umass and ucla are tied for the number 1 spot
@strange ivy why is your discord banner luffy in doggy style
VT vs MSU, which one is better for CS
VT
VT
VT
VT any day
L vt
Thank you for your views
VT
L gt
VT ez
is vt or william and mary better for pre med
Prolly w&m idk
VT vs UCIrvine, which one is better for CS
if ur instate for either go with that ovrall UCI
My decision letter said with an interest in computer science does this mean that my major is CS or undecided as of now?
Has anyone been to the campus?
U have to complete general engineering requirements and declare in ur soph year
Anyone else waitlisted rn? I applied regular decision for CS / engineering
i’m visiting this sunday
i’ll post pics here
doing res and dining hall too
with liberal arts schoo your
Thank you🙏🏻
Is VT worth 100k of extra amount (100k loan) than MSU for Computer Science
Considering jobs and internships after I complete my undergraduate degree
def if you can afford it, VT >>>> MSU
Anyone committed to VT yet?
I will soon
Just need views from you people about this.
im in love with vt
fr same here
my quick synopsis : tech has a really pretty campus (feels cosy, almost like a private school), all the students love being there and i was really impressed by the polisci/international affairs département
downtown blacksburg is really pretty, too
images loading lol bad wifi
could you send more pics? thx
Thanks man, how was the gym over there?
How is Vtech for Physics ?
vtech or ucsc for cs?
Discord for vt co2027?
Is there any VT discord?
Yes please
can i have it too
MASSIVE
I honestly am very anti-loan but VT is a great school and has a pretty nice Indian population (especially near Salem) so you wouldn’t feel too alone.
Alright, Thanks for your views
Have you tried appealing your aid at VT by shooting them an email?
right they probably wouldn’t 😭 outside scholarships it is
Btw, I have committed🥹
Yay! Do you know how to drive?
I am international, and yes I can drive. Although need to get some experience with opposite steering
haha
Ah yeah don’t worry about that haha but Blacksburg is way better if you know how to drive because everything is so spacious and far apart. There’s a ton of mountains everywhere so it’s super pretty but also really windy. If you’ve been to the northern side of India near the Himalayas it’s kind of like that climate wise.
That's really good to hear. I hope I have a good time there✨😍
That' cool. Are you from India too?
Yes, I am from North India😅 ||and have been to almost all mountain tourist designations in north😍 ||
Im abcd haha. Also thats actually very good - tons of people go hiking in Blacksburg and it has a very similar dry climate so you’ll probably feel right at home.
what's abcd
an American born Indian person
nope and nope!
oh haha, okay
it’s not the fit for me but it’s a great school haha, was top 2 on my list.
That's Nice
..
American born confused desi
Anyone else here committed to Tech yet?
when waitlist coming out
how good is VTech for CS
tech waitlist this friday ?
wait actually?
Did they release
Anyone get in?
No
They didn’t accept any-
Any1
Why would everyone commit to such a mid school 😂😂💀
wait...fr?
Yeah they filled up their class
Where did u commit
UCSD lol
Bro virgins tech isn’t even on the same lmao
Yeah I’m in the top 10 percent of my class but got waitlisted at vt 🧐
where did you commit
Rutgers honors college
Cool!
damn thats pretty good
class rank 3, OOS, waitlisted and rejected????? Makes no sense
does VT yield protect? I'm in VA and have pretty solid stats (12 aps, 4.0 uw, 1510 sat, internships and ecs) and will be applying cs, but I've heard they rejected a bunch of good applicants. I'll be applying ea next year and wanted to know
you’ll be fine
r u sure
also could i get stamps scholar or any other scholarship from vt (merit based)
va schools are stingy with aid unless youre aiming for like vcu
VT was my safety
and i'm 1430 sat with like 4 aps
they mainly rejected good applicants from OOS
vt has wacky admissions lol
