The Final Deadline for Applications Approacheth

By Jonathan Schramm
Assistant Director, Undergraduate Admissions

Hear ye, Hear ye, prospective students one and all! The 15th day of January – in the year of our Lord and all that jazz – marks the last day to turn in your applications for Fall 2010 admission at Virginia Tech! Don't be one of those applicants who's up till the wee hours of the morning editing their essay to make it just knock-your-socks-off right or filling in that last activity to make sure the admissions officers know that they barely had time to put on their socks in high school. Start now! Start slow if you have to, but give yourself enough time to get all the material together. Applying to college should not be stressful, and managing your time can ensure that it isn't. I wish I had taken my own advice way back when...

I digress... Here at Virginia Tech,
applying is pretty simple.

All you need is:
  1. A completed application with non-refundable $50.00 application fee
  2. Your transcripts sent to us via your guidance office (have your guidance office send any letters of recommendation with your transcripts)
  3. Standardized test scores (SAT and/or ACT) sent to us via your testing agency (send us all of your scores - we will combine your highest scores)
Keep in mind that the January 15 deadline really only applies to the application. All the other stuff (transcripts and test scores) can come in after the deadline - but not too long after mind you. There are optional personal statements and other things to fill out on the application, but all we require are the three things listed above.

As always, give us a call if you've got questions. We don't bite, I promise!
