[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, this doesn’t sound anything like my child’s experience.  He is currently a freshman there and VT was the most popular school for applicants from his high school last year.  It’s become incredibly competitive to get in *because* so many high-stats kids are applying (and not just for engineering).  The only kids from his school who were accepted last admission cycle were at the top of the class.  It’s no wonder to me that some high-stats kids are being rejected - they’re competing with other, equally talented kids!  VT can’t take them all.

My kid is having the time of his life there.  Challenging academics plus tons of social activities is exactly what he was looking for.  It’s my younger daughter’s top choice too.

If anything, [b]VT seems to be the most popular university in VA[/b]. [/quote]

A lot of that is probably self selection; many more kids have the stats for VT vs UVA or W&M[/quote]

Correct. It’s safety for those who will get into UVA and W&M and there is a whole broad swath of people who apply for whom it will be a reach or a match. And it’s a much bigger school than the other two. [/quote]

Lol no.
VT and WM are peer schools
