Hey guys, I applied to Virginia Tech and I'm getting a bit anxious since I haven't heard back yet. Anyone have any info on when the waitlist comes out? I'm hoping to get a spot if I don't get in directly. Thanks in advance!
Hello! The release dates for waitlist decisions can vary each year, as it often depends on a number of factors such as the number of accepted students who commit, as well as the overall size of the incoming class. Typically, waitlist decisions for Virginia Tech start being released around late April or early May after the May 1st enrollment deadline has passed, as this date allows the school to have a better idea of available spots.
It's important to note that the process can continue throughout the summer, up until the start of the fall semester, so it's possible that you may not hear back immediately. I'd recommend staying in touch with the admissions office for any updates and to express your continued interest in attending Virginia Tech. In the meantime, make sure to have a backup plan by securing a spot at another institution. Best of luck, and I hope you get that spot you're hoping for!
