If you know that Virginia Tech is your #1 choice and that you are for sure coming to Virginia Tech if you are accepted, then you might want to apply Early Decision. Students who apply for Early Decision usually have strong academic qualifications.If you want to apply as Early Decision, make sure you select that option at the top of your application form. The deadline is November 1 and you will be notified of an admission decision by December 15. If accepted, your non-refundable matriculation deposit is due January 15.
Now, if you apply for Early Decision 3 things could happen:
- You will be accepted and notified by December 15. And since the application is binding, you will be required to submit your non-refundable matriculation deposit of $400 by January 15.
- You will be denied admission (again, you will be notified by December 15. If you are denied admission but you still want to be a Hokie, your next step will be to go to a community college or other four-year school and reapply as a transfer student after completing at least one year of coursework at another institution.
- You will be deferred and your application will be reviewed with the Regular Decision applicant pool. If this happens, you will be notified by December 15. In general, this happens if we want more information from you, i.e. we want to see your mid-year grades before making an admission decision.
One thing to keep in mind if you do apply as Early Decision, and you would like to apply for financial aid and/or scholarships, you will need to complete the FAFSA (make sure you have it sent to Virginia Tech - code: 003754) and the General Scholarship Application by March 1. A lot of the scholarships at VT require the FAFSA. So, you need to fill it out even if you think you won't qualify for aid. You will be notified of what aid you will receive in April.
Here's a link to the application: www.admiss.vt.edu/apply/apply_online.php
We hope Virginia Tech is your first-choice school! If you're not sure, please come visit us. We believe that if you do visit our beautiful campus you will want to be a Hokie!
