Then you must know all of them.

🙄 It's the usual pedantic parent who is for some reason obsessed with meaningless differences in word choice. I don't think I've ever seen the same level of repeated pedantry from any other school.

Which would make sense except for the fact that both UVA and W&M which are both smaller (both almost half the size or less than VT) are bolded on the list.

Irrespective of where Virginia Tech places, this school shows an impressive college matriculation list.

UVA and W&M are at least as appealing as the other schools OP mentioned. VT isn’t.

Well, these kids prefer UVA and W&M over VT. Not sure what else there is to say about it!

Cannot believe there was a matriculation from Sidwell to JMU. Parents must be reeling.

The Wall Street Journal ranks Virginia Tech higher than either UVA or William & Mary.

It’s a heavily STEM focused school, however. The “elites” from Sidwell and other privates haven’t caught on yet and are stuck on tradition rather than the changing economy.

Is this the same Wall Street Journal that had Babson above Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford?

There are graduates of Sidwell to VT from class of 2022 and 2023 for sure because I knew them.

This is so rude - it could have been financial reasons, wanting to stay close to home, etc.

Time to take you back to the retirement home isn't it

This is an obvious answer. The student body is not wealthy enough to be an appealing option for students from a prestigious private school. Parents don’t want their kids to marry down and the dating pool of students from families in the top 1% of the income distribution is too small at Tech. Why would you want your kid to go to school where only 3% of the students come from very affluent families. They will not marry well at a school like that.
