Application Information

What should applicants expect during the application process? Following is a basic checklist.

Submit the online application, unless using a fee-waiver.

NOTE: For students for whom the non-refundable application fee presents a financial hardship, we will be glad to accept a printed copy of the paper application (which can be downloaded in PDF from the Instructions page) along with an official fee-waiver form signed by the high school counselor. If you have questions about fee-waivers, please email admiss@vt.edu.

Online applicants will receive a verification email, which asks that they verify that the biographical information they entered on the application form is correct. Applicants should take care to double-check the information, as this can cause matching problems when supplemental information is sent to our office.

All applicants should receive, within 1-5 business days off applying, the email with the title "Virginia Tech Application Status Page" which contains vital information regarding setting up a Guest Account to view their status online.

For details, see the Applying as a Freshman page.
