[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yield protection is a MYTH at Virginia Tech. It’s just a matter of math. They had over 42,000 apps for a class of 6,800.

They don’t care enough to game whether or not your kid would attend or not. Even with the addition of the short answer questions, they still do not really do holistic admissions. [/quote]

Lmao no it’s obvious they did this year, if you met the kids from my school who got in and the ones that got waitlisted, you would change your mind. Trust me, they yield protected hard. [/quote]

This is very true. I know two smart high score kids who got in but then there was a layer of really solid kids who had it as a first choice that got waitskisted and then a bunch lower than that that got in. Very weird. I know kids who got in to UVA and got waitlisted at Tech.[/quote]

Ditto... it wasn't just that VT was competitive this year, it was that they waitlisted a whole swath of very high stats kids and then accepted the layer under them. Same exact thing happened at our school. I also know people who got into UVA (which was also very tough this year) but waitlisted at VT which had been their safety.[/quote]
