[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 2020, 2021 and 2023 grad. Honestly, each year seems a bit worse than the last. Lots of deferrals, lots of WL that don’t move and [b]it becomes harder and harder to predict results [/b]because the application numbers rise so much each year. 2023 feels the worst to me, but 2021 was hard because my DC couldn’t visit and tour schools. [/quote]

And that's what keeps the application numbers climbing. My DC is in at 3 "safeties" so we know he's going to college (albeit out of state (thanks VT) which we're less jazzed about because of cost). Not a tippy top student or an engineering/CS major who has to worry about yield protection, just a run of the mill hardworking student. [/quote]

Surely he doesn't have to go OOS, with all the great options available in VA...

We made the mistake of thinking he was a perfect fit for VT. Like really perfect based on their motto and admitted student stats and what he brought to the table. Ultimately it's fine, we can affort OOS, but that's where I was hopeful he'd end up. [/quote]

Right, but I guess I'm curious why he couldn't go to any of the other great schools in VA, since you mentioned in your earlier post that you weren't thrilled with OOS cost.[/quote]

Sorry I wasn’t explicitly clear, he didn’t apply anywhere else in VA. UVA and W&M are both reaches based on his school, stats, and acceptance rates. VT was the only other one he wanted to consider.[/quote]
