Well, let's be honest: there are a lot more UVA rejects at Tech than there are Tech rejects at UVA.

There are plenty of students at VT who were accepted to both schools and chose VT. And I can absolutely see why.

Sure there are. But there are also more UVA rejects at Tech than vice-versa.

Your insecurity just jumps off the screen. Bless your heart.

All im saying is that there’s some truth to the good old fashion dig that the wahoos give out at the annual rivalry game.

Not really. Especially when so many VT kids were *also* accepted to UVA yet chose VT. That speaks volumes. But keep telling yourself whatever you need to.

I think this is a rare exception probably only in specific engineering majors. I don’t think there are “so many” who make this decision generally.

DP. I have two kids there right now who not only chose VT over UVA (and for liberal arts majors, not STEM) but who know quite a few others who did the same thing. Not sure why this would be surprising to you.

Same with my kids. This is perfectly normal, to normal people.

Of course you don't and that's what makes people roll their eyes at UVA parents who don't understand how out of touch they are.

Without hard data to back it up, the claim that there are "so many" at VT who were also accepted at UVA is conjecture based on anecdotes (obviously there are some, of course). And data showing UVA has a much lower acceptance rate, and that entering class test scores and GPA are higher at UVA, indicates that a majority of UVA applicants who wind up at VT didn't have the option of going to Charlottesville.

Nah, it's just simple facts (not a UVA parent)

NP. Why are so many playing into what was obviously a troll post?

The assumption is that kids who applied to VT also applied to UVA. There isn't data that shows this just like there isn't data to show how many kids were accepted to both and chose one over the other. You could fit all of UVA into VT and still have something like 12,000 more seats. It's absurd (and so, so arrogant) to think that 38,000 kids wanted to go to UVA and didn't get in.

Quarter zips is snobby? It's just a pullover with a zipper.

it’s not that simple when you realize that a) you have to get a job out of these institutions and that b) UVA is ranked 25/26 in the nation but VT is ranked 51. Compound that further by the fact that 80% of all students change their major at least over, so that sought after engineering admit becomes animal husbandry …

Anyone know when EA apps are reviewed by UVA Committee?

The minute they finish ED apps!

According to the blog, they turn to EA as soon as they have finalized ED decisions. So, they will start any day now if they haven't already. But answers won't come for 2 months.

Ah, the usual dolt who refuses to acknowledge that VT has seven colleges to choose from, to include the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. My VT liberal arts grads had no problem whatsoever getting very good jobs with their degrees.

Rumor on “grounds” is that ED comes out on Friday, according to my current Hoo.
