You sound like the person who is triggered. Way too invested for someone who is not a VT person. I'm just posting data from our school. If you are high stats you have a higher chance of getting waitlisted than someone in their 25-75% range. |
Our school has similar outcomes once you hit the low to mid 1500s with high GPA, you are waitlisted. There is no way all these kids had bad essays, etc |
Good luck to him! It’s a wonderful school and I truly hope he gets in. |
+1000 It’s a face-saving expression for a lot of parents who deluded themselves into thinking their kid was better than they actually were. |
How do you explain it when a kid is rejected to somewhere like Holy Cross and admitted into 3 ivies: Yale, Cornell and Brown? |
DP. Where are you getting the bolded? This is false. Here are the actual stats: https://research.schev.edu/iProfile/233921/Virginia-Tech |
Oh, here we go again. No one is lying to you. ![]() ![]() |
+100 Louder for those with the chips on their shoulders. |
Someone whose kid was rejected ^^. Please move on. DP |
Not at ours. It’s the first choice school for many high-stats kids. Think of it as a safety at your peril. DP |
I know nothing about Holy Cross so I have no answer for you. But let me ask you: would the kid have gone there over YCB, had he been accepted? |
I only wish that ALL schools would use ED so that those who are really serious about attending can express that. |
That's helpful. So it is around 1330. PrepScholar has it at 1285 and someone else had it at 1260 but I can't find it now. |
The explanation is that in that year, Holy Cross had different priorities in building its class than those Ivies. Or they blew off demonstrating interest. Or they whiffed the interview. |
You sound like you’re still mad your kid got rejected. I hope your DC is doing well at Randolph-Macon. |
