I'm looking into applying to Virginia Tech, but I'm a bit confused about their admissions deadlines, especially for early decision versus regular decision. Can anyone clarify these dates and any important deadlines I shouldn't miss?
For the current application cycle, Virginia Tech has the following deadlines:
1. Early Action: The application deadline for Early Action is November 15. If you choose to apply Early Action, you aren't making a binding commitment, but you will get to hear back sooner.
2. Regular Decision: The Regular Decision deadline is January 15. You'll have until May 1 to make your decision after receiving your acceptance notification.
Additionally, remember to complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after it becomes available on October 1 if you're planning to apply for financial aid.
Also, make sure to ask your high school counselor to submit your transcripts before the deadlines. If you're using teacher recommendations, give your teachers plenty of advance notice so they can write and submit their letters before the deadline.
Remember these are the deadlines to complete and submit the application, but you should aim to complete this process as soon as possible to avoid any last-minute issues.
