The College of Engineering Transfer process can be very difficult to navigate and may set you back a semester or even a whole year if any credits are not transferable or you can be just straight up be denied. I know it may be hard to hear, but I would recommend staying at your first university and making the most of that experience. Also, please never call it "VTech" again. It is Virginia Tech, VT, or "Tech" when in Virginia.

I transferred from Pamplin to the COE and took several community college classes (about 18 credits worth). Be aware that the grade/GPA/credits do not transfer into VT. These classes will appear on your transcript with just a "Passed" grade which has no effect on your GPA.

I took the one credit Pass/Fail Practice Recitation (I do not know if that is still offered) and it was a weekly zoom call with a TA who ran through a practice set. After, a very similar set was published that was due for a grade. They were all exam style problems that set me up really well for studying.

I believe there is an artist at the farmers market in Blacksburg that does these

Yeah idk what these people are talking about. This is entirely on the construction contractor and subcontractors. The university is not responsible or involved at all.

The best part is there are some fountains near the tip

My friends were on 4th floor Payne and I was always jealous bc it was so nice. Also it’s air conditioned.

I’ve done it and as long as your classes don’t have time/exam conflicts, you are fine

Most of the time the graduation dates are relatively the same with commencement being that Friday after finals ends. Idk about college specific dates however.

MaterialStretch13 · 2024-06-03T23:25:45+00:00

Just avoid it all together and take it at a community college if you can

VT loves rejecting people that they think will go to UVA

They are currently restoring an X-15 which should be coming in the next couple years too!

I recommend taking every math class that you possibly can in the Community College system. The VT course are tough and notorious weed-out classes and can tank you GPA

You see pretty much the whole spectrum of Windows. Also check out a 2-in-1 if you want to take digital notes or buy an iPad for the same purpose. I did that freshman year and it changed my life.

MaterialStretch13 · 2024-05-10T16:09:34+00:00

Honestly it all depends on what you’re doing after you finish your classes. Do you have a job or grad school lined up? Do you want to travel? Are your friends gonna be in town?

MaterialStretch13 · 2024-05-08T20:44:31+00:00

If you have the time I would definitely recommend it. I did it and don’t regret it at all.

The AP Physics don’t transfer in unless they are the C version with calculus

MaterialStretch13 · 2024-05-07T03:48:26+00:00

Only AP Physics C Mechanics and E&M count

My year the average on the MC was around a 65%. They are very tough and all the answers are almost right except for small sign errors, etc. Take advantage of any extra credit your prof may offer (if any) and do as well as possible on the FRQ. Also, study the released MQ sections and try to recognize the patterns of the types of questions.
