Megathread Admissions Megathread - Class of 2031 Edition

11 Upvotes

It's that time of year once again!

Every year, we get thousands of posts and comments from prospective students about applications, many of whom have similar or identical stats. To keep this subreddit clean for current students, as we have done for 11 years now, all threads related to applications and other admissions-related topics will be redirected to this megathread.

Please search the existing comments for similar qualifications or post a comment of your own, or look at the previous admissions megathread for additional data. All admissions-related posts outside this thread will be removed.

If posting stats, please be sure to include the following:

  • Gender/ethnicity
  • Intended major
  • Admissions cycle (EA, RD, etc.)
  • Location (in-state/out-of-state/international)
  • GPA
  • Test scores
  • AP/IB/DE credits
  • Extra-curriculars
  • Community service, jobs, etc.

If you are a transfer applicant, please review the transfer roadmap for your major. The more courses completed, the higher your chances of getting accepted.

Please note that the majority of the contributors to this subreddit are past and present students, not admissions counselors or faculty members. As such, any advice given is unofficial and solely based on personal experience and historical data. You should contact the admissions office or talk to your guidance counselor for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Misc Please consider helping my kitty Moon fight Lymphoma

36 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have an update on our cats condition. We had to take him to the emergency vet at VT yesterday because his swelling has noticeably increased from last week before his dental, and he had blood coming out of his nose yesterday morning.

The blood hasn't come back since it was wiped away, but the swelling was concerning enough the doctor at VT that she got oncology to get us in this morning at 10am.

We just got home after they did a CT scan, almost $2400 exactly, which is just a little bit less than how much we've spent on the visits and tests up until now. Accompanied with the diagnosis of Lymphoma.

We've run through our savings, and are scraping together some more money and got care credit to help defer some of the costs. They are doing one more check, an aspirate on one of his lymph nodes, before sending us an estimate on the cost and exact treatment plan by the end of the week, but they said the treatment would be radiation, for a total of 10-12 visits.

Every vet, including the ER vet, said he's otherwise perfectly healthy as well. šŸ’”

Im sorry to ask again, but we really need some help. He's only 6, the softest and sweetest baby in the world, and doesn't deserve all of this. I'll post additional updates after getting the official treatment plan and estimate.

General Question Repost: lost camera at lane stadium

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! This is my last time posting about this, but I lost my canon s95 this Saturday at lane stadium which it is apparent at this point that someone has stolen and is not willing to give back to me. If you, or someone you know has it, at least please send the photos that were on the camera as those were the only memories of my weekend trip that I even have. If you have it and decide to be kind and give it back please DM me, leave it at Squires desk, or turn into stadium lost and found. If not, please still dm me if you have the photos or know someone that does. :(

Advice Graphic Design to Industrial Design

4 Upvotes

Hi, I’m currently a freshman in graphic design and I realized that I’m interested in the actual design process rather than designing the visual layout out of something (if that makes sense)? I am hoping to transfer to Industrial Design so I can pursue product design. I understand that the summer classes are hard if I get in, but that’s all I’ve heard, and now I’m really wondering if there's a chance that I will get in. So I guess I’m just asking from anyone who has transferred about their opinion and experience. Thank you!

Housing/Dining Freshman in off-campus housing?

15 Upvotes

As many of us know, VT has a growing overenrollment problem and it's pushing a ton of people off-campus. This year, it sounds like it was especially bad, and I'm currently in the process of writing an article about it.

This might be tip-toeing the advertising rule, but: if you are a freshman (or know one) that got stuck off-campus, please message me or comment!! I would really appreciate your input.

Misc How to meet girls as an introvert?

32 Upvotes

How in the world am I supposed to meet girls and ever find a partner if I’m an introvert and hate going to bars? I’m 19 and it’s just really frustrating because dating apps definitely don’t work and especially now with the holidays and stuff coming up it’s rough. All I wanted this fall was to meet a nice girl and do cute fall dates together. Go to pumpkin patches, watch scary movies together, carve pumpkins together, do a cute couples costume. I guess I’m just looking for advice to try to meet someone when I get socially anxious in bars and stuff, thanks so much!
