[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT is more pure numbers driven than UVA. [/quote] I think the exact opposite. UVA is all gpa by high school. Just check naviance and you will see a clear line (in state). VT is all over the place for engineering. They value first gen and URM and WL a lot of high stats kids with strong EC.[/quote] +1 Few of the kids who have the 4.4+ weighted GPA probably have no ECs, [b]but UVA is the most clearly driven by high GPA [/b]in a heavily weighted course schedule as the primary defining factor. You can have kids in at VT from a really wide range of GPAs and SATS and their yield protection shows by the waitlisting of high stats kids. VT is less selective than UVA by far, but also way less predictable.[/quote] I don't think this is true. I think test scores are very important which is why the 75th percentile of enrolled students last fall had an ACT of 35. Can you provide a cite for your claim?[/quote]
