This with slightly lower GPA is a very standard acceptance from VT.

Congratulations, nonetheless.

DP, but the above seems a little rude?

My DD has similar stats to yours PP, waitlisted. This year all her friends are. It sucks so bad.

She killed the 4 essays and really put time into them. She volunteers, Major leadership, Job for 4 years, year round sport. business major.

I’m sorry to read this. She sounds amazing. And you’d think that would be a great fit with the four essay topics.

Thanks for these words. This whole process has been so disheartening. She is well within the range for VT at our school and she has taken business coursework for all 4 years plus ap econ and been very successful in business extracurriculars. So many deferrals to go along with this, from schools she is way in the green on the scatterplot. But what I thought helped more than anything was her attention to detail on those very difficult essays.

Congrats to those who got in. I really enjoyed our visit there and thought it was a wonderful school.

I’m the PP.
I hope she has a school that she can visit and get excited about in the coming weeks. Any other RDs in the pipeline? JMU for business?

Trust me, there at many that got rejected. Not everyone gets in.

56,000 applied and like 7,000 got in.

Acceptance letter said something like 57,500 applications for 7,500 spots

But many, many more than 7500 got accepted.

Probably 50,000 were accepted!

Good grief, troll harder. From last year, 47,301 applied and 27,000 were accepted.

But several international students reported $45,000 a year.

Kinda annoying

What school?

Virginia Tech is giving $45k international

Link or citation, please? This doesn't sound correct.

I agree, that's annoying. I don't understand how the school can justify that expense when there are high stats in-state denied as well as full pay OOS. 45k is giving more than free tuition to the international.

DP. I highly doubt the $45k claim is true.

I can't find this on reddit. And Virginia Tech's CDS indicates they don't give anything to internationals. Thoughts? Is VT sliding aid to internationals under the rug, or is the reddit poster lying?

Hmm, what do you think?? A reddit poster, lying? How could this be? C'mon, people. Use your brains and ask for an actual citation.

And in state there are hundreds of kids applying from big high schools; they simply can’t admit every qualified person strictly by stats because much of the state would be underrepresented. My son was admitted with high stats and most of his friends were waitlisted.

You are correct. They even state on their website that they do not yield protect.

Did not submit SAT score.

Accepted!

....now how to figure out how to pay for it. Tuition seemed to have increased (thinking with the federal cuts may have something to do with it?).

And we hit that spot where we make too much to receive aid, but paying for college will bankrupt us. Sigh

4.2 and did not submit SAT? What was it? SMH

PP here, was not invited to honors program as an incoming freshman. Also 11 AP, 3 DE including multivariable, diff eq, and linear algebra. ECs include sports (captain school and club), internship, jobs, volunteering over 100 hours (bronze award), and some school clubs leadership.

My son wasn’t offered honors initially but was pulled before his freshman year even started by his major to an invite only math honors class. It’s a class that even official “honors” kids must be invited to. Very similar to your daughter in math plus an 800 SAT. He was then offered honors after 1st semester and looked into it and didn’t actually see any value in it. Just more work.

My son is deflated. 2 univ's reached out to say how much they loved his essay (where he was accepted). I know this will all work out in the end but it's hard.
