I didn't say it represented the entire state. Dear Lord. I was simply speculating that high stat kids in NOVA were getting turned off to Tech engineering by their recent admission trends focusing on first gen. Simply used recent TJ numbers as an example.

Only the bottom TJ kids are even interested in VaTech. In fact, TJ grads are NOT interested in colleges/universities period including UVA since it has weak CS/Engineering.

49 of the TJ class of 2022 are attending UVA, 26 W&M, and 7 VT. And VT is by far the largest of those 3.

Do you know how many applied to VT and how many accepted from TJ?

Usually about 110 apply about 90 are accepted and about 8-15 attend.

Not in the last two years

The bolded is such utter BS, I don't even know where to begin. But do go on!

DP. You are correct. Absolute BS. Go look at all the high stats kids whose parents posted here and in college confidential about results during the last three years. Over and over high stats TJ kids were deferred or waitlisted or rejected. Some of the posts were tear-jerking because their kid wanted engineering and the parents couldn’t afford private or eve OSS engineering - the only great option in the Commonwealth had been closed to them and they had no alternative

Typically, the bottom 20-25% of the TJ grads even bother applying to VT. It is shameful to attend VT as a TJ grad.

I see the troll is back. Wow. At least be more creative when you troll!
DP

Not a troll. My DC graduated from TJ several years ago and I volunteered at TJ for many years so I know. Mostly the bottom kids apply to VT and few average TJ kids apply to VT as a safety.

And, as we said, you are hopelessly out of date. go back and read "Virginia Tech ED results" here, and for EA and RD and you'll see the real story. do the same on College Confidential and Reddit.

I will assume that's unweighted. Absurd. Is he @ UVA now? OT but it's bizarre how some of the Gov's School students (Maggie Walker, TJ, etc.) we know got waitlisted at Tech in 2022 with amazing stats but they're very happy now at the E-school in Cville.

DP. Why is that "absurd"? They can't take everyone with a 1500 SAT.

Because it IS absurd that an E-school applicant w/those stats isn’t accepted to the Commonwealth’s TECH SCHOOL.

[Both excerpts from articles easily found online]

Personally, I think the admission rate range anywhere from 56% to 68% found online (depending on the source) seems rather high. I wouldn't be surprised if it's lower than 50% now.

Fall 2022 entering class: 45,185 applicants and 25,799 acceptances = 57% acceptance rate

https://vtx.vt.edu/articles/2022/06/em-fall2022snapshot.html

You cannot use percentage of admittances to compare public schools to privates because public school applicants are self-selected by the student with the assistance of SCHEv and Naviance and directed by their public high school counselors to the best suited public universities. Same with other state run public universities.

Then why is the acceptance rate for UVA so much lower? (Your argument would apply for that school as well.) Same thing with W&M.

I am looking for the most recent ACT range and can’t find it. Does anyone know it off the top of their head? Not applying to engineering or business, just curious if a 32 ACT is in range.

UVA and W&M have really low OOS acceptances rates, dragging down their overall acceptance rates. Tech is the opposite- OOS acceptance rate is higher and brings their overall acceptance rates up. At my kids private, the UVA acceptance rates was 27% last year. W&M and Tech were both 39%.

Sorry, that should say at my kid’s public school…

The thing about VT is that there is such a big disparity between acceptance rates for different majors. For example, it's probably harder to get into VT engineering from in-state than into W&M, but definitely easier to get into numerous majors in the College of Arts and Sciences, etc. in-state than into W&M.

I agree with this. I just don’t think the prior PPs were appropriately accounting for the impact of OOS acceptance rates on overall acceptance rates. Tech’s in state acceptance rate is dropping fast, but you may not see that when viewing their overall acceptance rate.

Nervous after seeing all the amazing stats in this thread being waitlisted or rejected! My DC has a 1520 SAT and a 4.5 GPA: how likely is it for her to be admitted to the Pamplin Business School for cybersecurity? She wanted to apply ED but I said no because I'd rather have her apply OOS and to UVA.

The overall acceptance rate for in-state females to Pamplin for the fall 2022 entering class is 45.3%.

Fingers crossed then. I did the website again but with Business Information Technology department and the acceptance rate appears to be 36%
Hoping daughter pulls through, perhaps I should've just let her ED

Any guesses when we will find out?

Did you control for gender? I checked for that major and it came up with 43% for females.
