[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Some parents don't like the fact that their hard working children's lives are affected by DEI policies and a broken system. [/quote] This is indeed sour grapes. [b]PP posted actual data[/b] regarding low number of URM students at VT, but you just wanna blame the DEI boogie man. Sorry, your kid didn't get accepted, but depending on their major, they likely lost out to OOS students. If they applied for CS, engineering or business, they probably had less than a 30% chance of admissions. VT isn't a safety for anyone. [/quote]

Maybe you should address the data, then, instead of your usual "you are entitled!" rant?[/quote]

That's all she has.  The DEI boogie man is in fact real.  Many lesser qualified "underrepresented" people get into colleges when they should not, then underperform.

For those of you that have well qualified students that were not accepted into the VA state school that they wanted to get into, I would highly recommend the VCCS as a way to get into any state school. You need a minimum GPA, but it removes the social justice warriors in the college admissions office.  My son is now at VT after a single year spent at VCCS and earning an Associates degree in Engineering.   [/quote]
