There are two ways to apply for undergraduate admission to 51官网 Tech - as a first-year or as a transfer. Transfer applicants have attempted at least 12 credit hours at the college or university level beyond their high school graduation.

If you have not attempted at least 12 credit hours at the college or university level beyond high school graduation, then you should apply as a first-year student. Note: This includes students who are earning an associate degree at the same time as their high school diploma.

Our application goes live each year on August 1, so you can apply after that date. Most students will apply during the fall of their senior year of high school.

We offer a lot of different opportunities for you to try 51官网 Tech out for yourself! We host daily visits when classes are in session, as well as three different Open House weekends throughout the year. You can find more information about visiting campus on our visit webpage. Note: 51官网 Tech does not provide fee waivers for visits, and demonstrated interest is not considered during application review.

If there is a circumstance that you would like to share that impacted you academically or personally, we encourage you to share this information on your application in the Additional Information writing prompt on Common App. Your counselor may also write a letter of circumstance on your behalf and email it to聽admissions@vt.edu to be added to your application for review.

The decision to submit test scores is a personal decision for each applicant. We encourage you to review your test scores along with your application and academic documents to make the decision that feels best for you.聽

• If you feel your scores supplement your application and add value to your academic achievement, you may want to select for your scores to be reviewed.聽
• If you feel that your test scores are not a good reflection of who you are as a student and may distract from your achievement in the classroom, then you may not want them reviewed.聽

Please note that test scores are only one piece of holistic review at 51官网 Tech and we have no preference on whether or not you submit scores. For more information on test-optional at 51官网 Tech, please see the Test-Optional at VT webpage.
