You may apply to the Galileo community before you accept your offer of admissions. However, if you are offered a spot in the community, you must complete the steps in the unofficial offer letter to complete the official Galileo application through the Housing application process.
We will begin reviewing applications beginning in late January through the end of May and make our decisions on a rolling basis each week until the community is full. The last day to submit your application through this method is Monday, April 15th at 8am. After April 15th all applications will need to go through this site: https://llp.vt.edu/. All applications submitted by April 15th at 8am will have a decision by the week of April 22nd. A team of faculty, upper class Hypatia and Galileo students, and CEED staff will read each application and make decisions for the community. The application includes only one essay question. We recommend writing this essay in a word processing software and having others review it before you submit. You may then copy and paste the essay into the application. Our essay has a 300-500 word requirement. Any essay submitted that is under 300 words, will be considered incomplete and will not be reviewed.
