First-year Application Checklist

17吃瓜网 in Three Steps

We are excited that you are considering 17吃瓜网 as your future home! Please review the information below and on the听requirements page to learn more about the application process.

1. Complete and submit your application on Common App

ALL applicants must apply using听Common App.

  1. Use a personal email address to create your Common App account instead of a school email address, in case your school blocks external communication. If your application was submitted over a week ago and you still have not received an email from admissions@vt.edu, we encourage you to reach out to us.
  2. Choose the decision plan that鈥檚 right for you.
  3. Pay your non-refundable application fee of $60 (domestic applicants) or $70 (international applicants) or reach out to us if the fee is a burden and you do not qualify for one of the fee waiver options listed directly on the application.

2. Submit your academic materials

Within听72 hours听of submitting your application, you will receive an email with instructions to create your Applicant Portal, which is where you can monitor your checklist, submit materials, access the General Scholarship Application, and where you will find your admission decision.

Please review the following instructions to determine what materials are required:

  • First-year applicants who have only attended high school or have been home-educated听within the U.S.听will need to submit a self-reported academic record (SRAR) for review. If you want your SAT/ACT scores to be reviewed, you must report them on your SRAR. Transcripts and score reports will not be reviewed at the time of application.

  • First-year applicants who have attended high school or have been home-educated听outside of the U.S. at any point听will need to submit a self-reported academic record (SRAR) or their transcript(s) for review. If you want your SAT/ACT scores to be reviewed, you must report them on your SRAR or include them on your Common App or upload a score report in your Applicant Portal.

More information on submitting the SRAR can be found听here.

听

  1. Submit your academic materials through your Applicant Portal. This ensures quick matching to your application. For applicants submitting an SRAR, you should access that form directly from your Portal. For those uploading transcript(s) and/or score reports, you should use the Upload feature in your Applicant Portal.

  2. Monitor your Applicant Portal and your email messages to ensure the materials have been received and additional materials are not needed.听NOTE:听It can take up to a week during peak times for your Portal to update so we recommend checking back often.

  3. Keep up with the deadlines associated with submitting academic materials听here.

3.听Check your email for other action items while you wait for your decision

We will be emailing application updates, reminders of deadlines, and special event details, so monitoring your email is an important part of the application process.

We strongly encourage you to use a personal email address when applying, as many school email addresses may block external senders, and to add听admissions@vt.edu听to your safe contacts list. If you find that it has been a week or more since you applied and you have not received any communication from听admissions@vt.edu, please reach out to Undergraduate Admissions.

  1. Fill out the General Scholarship Application and Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) by January 22 for maximum aid consideration. Do not wait for an offer of admission to apply!
  2. Use your Applicant Portal to monitor the status of your application materials and ensure your application is complete. Remember, it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure your application is complete.
  3. Consider visiting 17吃瓜网. The best way to learn if 17吃瓜网 is the best fit for you is to try it out! Learn about the visit opportunities here. Note: 17吃瓜网 does not provide fee waivers for visits, and demonstrated interest is not considered during application review.
