Thank you for the info🙏🏽 it’s so nice of you
Of course!! 💗
I’m class of ‘25 and this helps thank you!!! Go Hokies!!
I will study abroad at VT this year so it helps me a lot!
Yesssss Turner gets crazy crowded if you go at the wrong time; love your videos Kelsey!!
ahh thanks Kirsten!! 😁
These videos help so much! I’ll be attending VT In the fall this year.
I hope your second year is going great so far
I'm so glad I found this video. I want to major in interior design too and have been looking into Virginia Tech!
Awesome Madi! Glad you found me! Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to answer them as best as I can!
@@thekelsg do you wish you went anywhere else ?
thank you so much!!! I'm transferring to va tech and this was super helpful!!
Yay! I’m so happy to hear this Michelle!! You’re going to love it ❤️🙌🏻
I attended VA Tech from 1990-95. I was part of the party crowd. The food was terrible back in 1990. I was thrilled in 1992 when Owen's food court opened. Drinking 🍻 beer and going to frat parties was #1 for me. I am Gen X. That's what we did. I did do summer school twice and it was so laid back. I rode the bus to parties. Awesome tips!
This was so helpful! I just accepted to VT so watching these videos help so much, please have more tips!! Anything about choosing classes, study tips, etc!
So happy to help. I’ll be sure to post more videos! (:
How is it? Are you still there and if so do you actually like it?
thank you, I love this! I hope to be a Hokie Class of 25'
I hope you are!!! You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!
I just got accepted and wondering if you did too?
Yayy I hope to make plenty of friends at VT
you should do a video about life at Virginia tech during this corona
Thanks for such an informative video. Very helpful for a nervous parent of an incoming freshman.
I just got accepted early action!
YAY!!! Congrats Alexandra!!!❤️❤️ GO HOKIES 🦃
Hookie Class of 25' can't wait to go here
Horticulture grad class of 99 here. I transferred to Tech after spending 2 years (91-93) at West Virginia Wesleyan, a small liberal arts school of about 3000 after finding myself. Coming to a huge state school of 25,000+ was an adjustment, but living in Vawter for a semester (spring 94) helped before moving off campus to College Park (now it’s called something different) with 2 guys from the dorms. Think of being at Tech as like having 25,000 members in your family. For the incoming freshman I’d highly recommend living on campus for a year THEN moving off. It’s a great way to meet people and experience college life. Plus you can walk down the hall to your friends and not have to bear the cold winds of the drill field. Good luck and Go Hokies!
Hi! Definitely agree! On campus at least one year if possible (housing crisis probably makes it a bit difficult!)
KelseyG true. I was on campus last spring and noticed all the building they’ve done and how much it has changed. Kinda sad but I’ll always feel close to Tech and the memories I made.
I just got accepted and confirmed my enrollment!
Congrats Peyton!!!! Go Hokies 🦃❤️🧡
Hopefully I can get in for class of 26’
I have always loved Virginia tech and I really want to go there, I go to swim camp every summer there
Definitely come!! I love it!
the only thing about having your hokie p in your phone case is that it's not easy for you to get out and use to pay for your meals (and all freshmen have to buy a meal plan)
This was so helpful! Thank you so much! Your eyes are amazing BTW!
I’m glad this could help! Thanks for watching!! And thank you😊
@@thekelsg What did you think of the Interior Design program at VTech?
thankyou!!
I’m not familiar with the exploring caus since I transferred straight into the interior design program!
Yoo can u do one on switching majors if ur hip to that? I'm abt to transfer there fall 2021 n I think I wanna change 😅
omg how did i not know about the little place in mccomas👀definitely gonna check it out next semester
if we even go back :/
jake Hamilton true
Pretty sure it's gonna be limited capacity which sucks because of how crowded it is haha
This video was so helpful! I don’t get my decision until February 22 I think 😭
Did you get in?
I got in for engineering!!!
Gabriel Hernandez I actually did! I only found out today because I was out of the country
Gema Guerra Nicee
From UBC. Got a lot of friends in Virginia tech.
Thank you for this I’m an incoming freshman of class of 25!
Yay!! Congrats Cass! Go Hokies!!! 🦃
Is that so
Go Hokies!
Class of 2025 here! Super excited
Yay!!! Congrats Britney!!!! You’re gonna love it 🦃❤️ GO HOKIES!!!!
I’m only 12 but I wanna go to vet school at vt it’s a life long dream and I wanna play some sport there so idk about the clubs but I can say that I was taking notes because I want my experience there to be perfect
Aw I’m sure you’ll have an amazing experience!!
Hello, I am an international student (from Senegal and South Africa) who just got accepted to VT and I love your video. I think this is a great initiative from you. Is it possible for you to I don’t interview an international student cause we don’t see or hear a lot of things about them.
I have been researching about VT as I am interested in applying. I am from South Africa. I would love to chat to you, if you don't mind.
Please take care with koreans.
Hokie class of '25!!
Yay!!! Congrats Nina ☺️ Go Hokies!!
Soy español espero que me respondas tranquila no me enojaré pero tengo una pregunta ¿cómo te sientes al entrar a esta escuela con el tema de que hace mucho hubo un tiroteo orquestado por Cho seung ji (no se como se escribe(
Vas a Virginia tech?
Did you live on campus when you transferred? Did you choose to live off campus or was it not an option? Your videos are really helpful! I'm hoping to transfer too!
Hi Daniela! I transferred in the summer so I was living on campus just for two months. Then I lived off campus. I believe I could live on campus only if I was an RA. On campus housing is currently very limited due to the influx of people coming to tech! However, living off campus is really great! Because the bus system pretty much goes everywhere, it makes it easy to get around even when you’re off campus. If you can live on campus for a bit it might be helpful just to get used to everything but no worries if you can’t!
KelseyG That’s great! Thanks for replying! My main concern is if its hard to make friends and meet people because of not living in a dorm? Most of the time, people have already established their group of friends and who they hangout with. So I’m wondering if living off campus as a transfer student makes it more difficult... 😬
En lo único que pienso cuando veo el nombre de Virginia tech es en el tiroteo del chino
I got accepted to VT, should I dorm on campus or off campus?
If you’re a freshman I would suggest living on campus your first year and then living off after that!
GO HOKIES🦃
YESSS
If you put your hokie p in your phone case you cant take it out to pay for food or get into buildings
I just pop it out and put it back (: works for me!
im watching this and don't even go there...I go to uiowa
I wanna go to VT😭😭😭 hopefully i get accepted!
Did you get accepted?
@@aaliyahperez1554 i applied regular
@@valeriaquispe9730 Alright. Let me know if you get in.
So did u get accepted?
what about a on campus or part time job ?
A part time job on campus is definitely doable! I worked about 10-15 hours a week as a graphic designer for student engagement and campus life. For my major it was still doable. It’s also a great way to meet new people outside of your major! Just make sure it’s something you can take on on top of your major. Hope this helps
Im planning to apply for VA TECH! What were your stats if you dont mind me asking?
^
31 ACT, 35/42 IB, stellar EC's and essays
I'd look at the average for the school if you're curious rather than a case by case basis.
I got in with 3.86 gpa 29 act
I haven't received a decision yet but my friend got in with a 3.4 GPA and no SAT since its optional this year
How many years did you attend Virginia tech for?
3 years! I have one semester left. I transferred in the summer and did a 3 month “summer semester”
@@thekelsg Good luck with your last semester! With my credits I'll probably be at tech four years, essentially a freshman again, and I'm gonna be 20 - do you think that's weird?? Your videos have been so helpful~
What gpa do I need to get it ? I’m out of state btw? Thanks
Unfortunately It depends on many things beside just a number. I’m sure they look at everything (other scores, letters of rec, list of achievements etc) I had a 3.6 in HS if I remember correctly but I wouldn’t just based it off of that. Like if you don’t have that, don’t worry.
@@thekelsg I have a 4.0 and play golf but I go to a good school in PA. Not really sure what to major in so it might be different for each major
@@thekelsg was ur 3.6 unweighted or weighted
You don’t think you should be worried then! Mine was Unweighted. But again I don’t really know if you’ll get accepted based on your gpa🙈 good luck!!
I got in with 3.915 weighted, 3.6 something unweighted, 1410 SAT
YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL EYES
U look like Hailey Baldwin
have you lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, or lusted after someone (which God sees as adultery)? if so, you have broken God's law, the ten commandments, and have sinned against God. The Bible says in Romans 6:23 that the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Put your trust in Jesus Christ, His death paid the debt for YOUR sins. Trust in Jesus, and He will give you eternal life, a free gift from God that can't be achieved or gotten by works!!
We’re you ever scared knowing that a very deadly school shooting happens there
I’ve thought about it, but it’s a great school, it’s safe and secure. It can happen anywhere. It doesn’t take away from the reasons that make it a great place to be.
KelseyG true, I thinks it’s cool how schools have that type of security now, much more protected
How do you spell narcissistic? Let's never forget, it's all about you.
So kind of you to say!!! I hope you don’t waste your time sharing hate like that on other peoples videos. Be kind and have a nice day.
@@thekelsg Hates? So if someone doesn't appreciate your narcissistic way, they're haters? Hardly. It just gets so tiring. I wanted to learn something and it's all about you. But I guess making videos better than looking in the mirror all day, right?
This video is about MY experience? I don’t understand the reason for your comment. If you don’t like it, don’t watch.
@@thekelsg I didn't. Thanks and have a nice day.
@@newmanfertig886 what even was the point of your comments? She was literally just sharing tips for being in VT, I don’t really see the narcissism in the video
