Trust me, there at many that got rejected. Not everyone gets in.

56,000 applied and like 7,000 got in.

Acceptance letter said something like 57,500 applications for 7,500 spots

But many, many more than 7500 got accepted.

Probably 50,000 were accepted!

This with slightly lower GPA is a very standard acceptance from VT.

Congratulations, nonetheless.

DP, but the above seems a little rude?

My DD has similar stats to yours PP, waitlisted. This year all her friends are. It sucks so bad.

She killed the 4 essays and really put time into them. She volunteers, Major leadership, Job for 4 years, year round sport. business major.

I’m sorry to read this. She sounds amazing. And you’d think that would be a great fit with the four essay topics.

Thanks for these words. This whole process has been so disheartening. She is well within the range for VT at our school and she has taken business coursework for all 4 years plus ap econ and been very successful in business extracurriculars. So many deferrals to go along with this, from schools she is way in the green on the scatterplot. But what I thought helped more than anything was her attention to detail on those very difficult essays.

Congrats to those who got in. I really enjoyed our visit there and thought it was a wonderful school.

No, this doesn't account for yield; not everyone accepted enrolls, so the university accepts many more than the number of seats.

Fall 2023, around 27k were accepted and a little over 7k enrolled.

This is all public information.

2023-- 47k applied and 27k accepted
2024-- 52k applied and 29k accepted
2025-- 57k applied

This means their kid goes to Whitman, Walter-Johnson or Wootton in MCPS.

Which are PUBLIC schools.

I think acceptances will rise. Was a bloodbath at UMD, UNC and UVA for OOS students whose stats a few earlier would have got them in.

Can you explain what you mean? Acceptances will rise at what schools and when? Not following your train of thought; maybe I just need more coffee.

Will rise? Next year? Or do you mean taking kids off the wait list? My son was admitted to UMD engineering but waitlisted at VT. UMD was supposed to be the reach while VT was a target.

Was also deferred EA at UVA. I'm shocked.

That is incredibly shocking! Engineering is so competitive now. Your student sounds stellar ❤️

Why? The WGPA is low

Actually, no. In addition to the many AP courses in math and sciences, he also took multiple art classes, culinary, and two years of technical drawing, all of which were unweighted.

AB calc, not BC. Any Cs?

Tuition rates will sky rocket next year.

It'll be an upper class privilege to go to college so colleges will cast a wider net (acceptances) knowing a majority will have to decline for financial reasons.

Reddit mega thread people posting merit aid. Seems in state hard to get but already heavily discounted, OOS a few people got $3k a year.

But several international students reported $45,000 a year.

Kinda annoying

Huh? Then apply in state? 4.0 and 1500 have been getting denied from state schools for at least the past 5 years. Not a recent phenomenon nor a bloodbath. So silly.
