[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you can't see in Naviance is their VT essays.  That school doesn't use the common app essay and is very into their motto.  Perhaps those high stat kids used VT as a safety and didn't really put a lot into the essays.  I remember that VT also has a lot of information about admission by school and major.  [/quote]

+1 It's sad but our HS hosted a zoom call with college counseling on VA schools and she stated that VT is in the reach category for most in general because it is more unpredictable, especially using GPA and test scores. Here is the VT admissions data - use it to filter by school, major, in-state vs OOS etc to get a better read of acceptance rates vs actual # of applicants. My kid is 4.67 w and 1470 test score at public VA school bio major. Viewing VT as a reach but hopeful that the lack of ECs/projects related to intended major won't count against and the essays IMO were meh (not earth shattering but tried to answer the VT prompts).
