| Honors Eligible Admission Decisions | mailed February 17 |
| Regular Freshman Admission Decisions | mailed by April 1 |
We wanted to provide you some information about how decisions for regular decision applicants will be communicated this year, as well as some helpful hints regarding financial aid and scholarships at Virginia Tech.
As you are no doubt already aware, the single-notification date at Virginia Tech for regular decision freshman admission has traditionally been April 1. Again this year, most applicants will be notified in a mailing sent in time to arrive on April 1.
Early notification of admissions offers will be mailed February 17 to those students who either are admissible and statistically eligible to apply to University Honors and/or whose applications were evaluated by the Admissions Committee prior to this date.
Students eligible to apply to University Honors have a cumulative GPA of 3.80 (as reported on the high school transcript) and a minimum SAT score of 1350 (critical reading and mathematics).
If you are not one of the applicants who learns their admission decision in the early mailing, your application is still under review by the Admissions Committee and you will have your decision by April 1. The early notification offers represent only about 20 percent of total offers of admission that will be made this year.
Remember: Students who are not honors-eligible, or whose files were not reviewed until after the honors offers went to committee, are still under consideration for regular decision admission.
