First Round of Early Action Admission Offers FAQs

Get answers to FAQs

1. Who was included in the first round of offers?
   Because we want to review each application with care and because of the increasing number of applications Virginia Tech receives each year, our application review process will take some time. However, as they are reviewed, we will have a pool of offers ready to release. Given that, we decided to inform those whose applications we have reviewed with offers as soon as we were able to do so. Please note that all Early Action applicants can expect to receive a decision by late-February and all Regular Decision applicants can expect to receive a decision by mid-March. Our team is working hard to notify you even sooner and we will send another email when we plan to release additional decisions to keep you and your family members informed of what to expect as we move forward.
2. How many offers were released?
   About 25% of our first-year offers have been released with this round, leaving the majority of intended additional offers to be made in the spring.
3. How many rounds of decisions will be released and when will the next round be released?
   We do not have a set number of rounds of decisions that we anticipate to release at this time. We will send another email when we plan to release additional decisions to keep you and your family members informed of what to expect as we move forward.
4. When will I receive an offer packet in the mail?
   Offer packets to those admitted will not be sent by mail until late-February
5. When will I receive financial aid information?
   Due to changes made to the FAFSA, financial aid packages will not be available until later in the spring as institutions will not have access to data from the FAFSA until late-January at the earliest. For any applicants who are admitted, we will send an email when your financial aid package is available in your Applicant Portal.
6. Why didn’t I receive a decision?
   Given the attention we want to give your Ut Prosim Profile, it can take a great amount of time to review our volume of applications. We have not finalized all decisions at this time. We had a small pool of offers that were ready to be released so we decided to inform those applicants as soon as we were able to do so. Please note that all Early Action applicants can expect to receive a decision by late-February and all Regular Decision applicants can expect to receive a decision by mid-March.
7. If I didn’t receive a decision, does it mean I will not be offered admission?
   If you do not receive an offer of admission, it is not a reflection of your status in the applicant pool. There will be many more offers extended to applicants after this week’s round of offers.
8. I was offered admission. What are my next steps?
   You can find your next steps listed in your Applicant Portal.
