Hi everyone, I applied to Virginia Tech and unfortunately didn't get accepted right away, but I'm on their waitlist. Anybody knows when they usually release their waitlist decisions? Trying not to get too stressed over here.
Hi there! First of all, congrats on being placed on the waitlist at Virginia Tech. It's natural to feel a bit stressed during this time, but it's important to remember that being waitlisted means you were a strong candidate.
To answer your question, there isn't a specific date when Virginia Tech releases waitlist decisions. Typically, colleges start to review their waitlists once they have a clearer picture of their incoming class, which often occurs after the May 1st deadline for accepted students to commit. Therefore, you may start hearing back from Virginia Tech regarding waitlist decisions from early May through the summer.
Keep in mind that the timeline can vary depending on how many accepted students choose to commit and any changes in enrollment numbers. It's a good idea to stay updated by checking your email and the Virginia Tech admissions website for any possible updates or additional information.
In the meantime, make sure you've secured a spot at another institution just in case a spot at Virginia Tech doesn't open up. It's always best to have a backup plan. Good luck, and I hope everything works out for you!
