[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it looks like VaTech is a safety for the normal high stats kid. Their admission rate is a lot higher than a lot of other schools, including the "competitive" majors.[/quote] Yes, if not a safety, at least a solid target school. My own son applied to UVA and VA Tech... high-performing FCPS HS, 4.4 wGPA, 1500 SAT (790 Math), rigorous classes including 9 APs (and 2 post-APs -- MV Calc/Linear Alg and CS Data Structures), 2-sport varsity athlete and captain of one team, high level club sport, part-time job, other regular ECs. He finished with level 4 of his foreign language and did not take AP level (which UVA recommends) and he also did not take AP History (which UVA recommends). He applied to College of Engineering and got waitlisted at UVA and accepted at Tech.[/quote]
