▸ Career Outcomes & Industry Reputation — 39.6

- outcomes.startingSalary: Median of the reported 25th/75th percentile range ($45,000-$60,000) for Hospitality and Tourism Management graduates in the 2023-24 cohort; based on only 15 of 44 graduates (about one-third) reporting a salary, a small sample. Secondary sources separately cite a rounder "$55,000" figure for the Class of 2025 without a primary link, so flagged medium confidence pending a larger-sample primary figure.
- outcomes.employmentRate: 31 of 35 survey respondents (an 80% response rate out of 44 total 2023-24 graduates) reported being employed. The department's own careers page separately cites a broader historical "85-90% placement rate upon graduation," consistent with this figure. Other secondary sources claim up to 100% employment for the Class of 2025 "seeking employment," but no primary figure for that specific cohort was found for v1.
- outcomes.recruiterReputationScore: Not yet sourced for v1.

▸ Admissions Selectivity — 73.3
| Metric | Value | Normalized | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| admissions.acceptanceRate | 55 % | 57 | medium | Virginia Tech Common Data Set, 2025-26 cycle |
| admissions.satActEquivalent | 1365 SAT-equivalent composite | 89 | low | Virginia Tech Common Data Set, 2025-26 cycle |
- admissions.acceptanceRate: University-wide rate (31,515 admitted of 57,755 applicants). Pamplin College of Business and the HTM department do not publish a separate department-level acceptance rate; students are admitted to the university and declare/compete for the major afterward.
- admissions.satActEquivalent: Virginia Tech's 2025-26 Common Data Set does not publish a composite SAT range; this value sums the reported IPEDS section midpoints (Evidence-Based Reading & Writing 640-710, Math 640-740). Other secondary aggregators report composite ranges anywhere from 1210-1410 to 1280-1450 depending on the cycle cited, so flagged low confidence. University-wide, not program-specific.
