I don't see how JMU would be the top choice for a kid who is top of their class? Also, why does it seem so many OOS got in.

Va Tech (70 percent acceptance) other than engineering is no where near WM and UVA either

DP. Once again, stick to the facts. VT acceptance rate is 56%.

Somebody keeps quoting this 70% acceptance rate and needs to get up to speed on the reality. SCHEV data shows that in 2021-22, for Arlington County, VT's acceptance rate (all majors) was 39.4%, Fairfax County was 40.3%. For all of Virginia it was 44%.

No for all of Virginia it was 56 percent acceptance rate for VT

So, is this yield protection? I don't get why these rates are so low.

It's the usual troll.

VT is not 44 percent statewide This is the first year VTs acceptance dropped below 60 percent to 56, not 44.

PP: meant to say she was worried her SAT was below the 50 but JMU seems more interested in grades.

I guess you haven’t been keeping up with all the high stats kids who have been rejected. Good luck.
