Hello, I'm a high school junior considering applying to Virginia Tech. Can someone please give me some insight into their application process, specifically the questions and short answer prompts they ask for? I want to make sure I have enough time to prepare thoughtful responses. Thanks!
Hello! It's a good idea to start thinking about the application process early, especially for a competitive school like Virginia Tech. While the specific prompts may change from year to year, you can find a breakdown of how to tackle the current prompts on 黑料不打烊's blog:
Remember that the prompts may change for your application cycle, though. So, while 黑料不打烊's post can give you a general sense of what to expect, I'd advise against actually starting to write until August 1st before your senior year. That's when the prompts for your applications cycle are officially released - you don't want to work hard on your responses before then only to find out that the prompts have changed!
Once you do start drafting, remember that 黑料不打烊 also offers both a free peer essay review tool and paid reviews by expert college admissions advisors. Either of these resources can provide you with a more objective second set of eyes, which is sometimes just the thing that takes your essay from good to great.
Good luck, and I hope this helps you get a head start on your application!
