| Our HS counselor says they are about the same. What say you? |
| VT by a mile |
| According Naviance at our School, VT by quite a bit. |
| I have no affiliation with either school, but GMU and VT have similar critical reading scores (gmu 520-630 vs. vt 530-630) while vt is higher in math (580-680 vs 530-630). Gmu admits a somewhat smaller percentage of applicants (62% vs 70%). I wonder if VT's numbers are skewed because they are much more selective in certain areas such as engineering, while other divisions might be easier to get into? |
| Um VT. Is this a joke? |
| For a kid from this area, there's no doubt that VT is most selective. But check your naviance for proof. |
| Other than engineering, you will probably get just about same level of education from both schools. VT is a national univ whereas GMU is more of a regional univ so it gets less exposure outside of DC area, IMHO. This difference (national vs regional) matters a lot to some, matters none to others. |
| DS applied to all three, got into GMU only. We knew VT was a stretch, but thought CNU was relatively easy to get into. Not the case apparently. |
| GMU is now slightly less harder than vt , things have changed a lot at gmu in the last 20 years. |
| I've only lived in the area for 5 yrs but I have never even heard of CNU!? I assume it is part of the state system? I did realize that GMU has made strides in the last decade or so but I would still assume that VT is the most competitive of the 3. |
| "slightly less harder"? oy vey. |
You must be old, many intelligent students stay close in to gain work experience from gmu's many sponsoring tech companies. |
|
At our high school there's a clear order from most to least selective
VT GMU CNU |
Guess the grammar companies aren't hiring. |
