By Jonathan Schramm,
Assistant Director, Undergraduate Admissions
Greetings all! Now that we here in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions finally find ourselves with a moment to breathe, having worked diligently to bring in our largest, most qualified class EVER, we've thought about it, and decided that it's high time we set some time aside to blog about Virginia Tech. We like talking about it so much, why not write about it too?
I've volunteered (or did someone volunteer me? I can't remember? Anyway…) to discuss the admissions side of things. Some of our outstanding Hokie Ambassadors will be commenting on the student side, so you'll be hearing
about VT from multiple points of view. While I'm sure their entries will be a little more thrilling than mine, as someone who – among other "duties as assigned" – actually goes out and recruits students and reviews their applications when they come in, I hope I can provide you with unique insights into the inner-workings of admissions at Virginia Tech.
We'll start with the recruitment cycle and end right around the time decisions go out. Along the way we'll discuss everything from campus visits to application deadlines, from high school curriculum to standardized tests— and many other relevant topics. Now, I'll try to respond to as many comments as possible (for individual inquiries, please contact the office directly)
and will likely turn a few into blog posts of their own.
As is often the case with projects of this sort, this is, and will likely remain, a work in progress, but hopefully our words will help calm some nerves, dispel some rumors, and answer any questions you may have about this wonderful university that is Virginia Tech. I'm guessing we'll probably have some fun along the way too…
Well. Thanks for stopping by, and as always… GO HOKIES!
