[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did all these 1500 SAT applicants apply EA?  I would guess not. They likely applied ED or RD. In that case, they were using VT as a back up plan. I don’t find anything wrong with reserving spots for students that actually want to go there. If a 1500 SAT student applied EA, they’d be accepted.

I don’t find accepting high star OOS a problem either. They raise the caliber of the school, increase the reputation of the program, and entice more employers to want VT grads. All the whole providing a high caliber engineering experience for Virginia students with a demonstrated interest in attending VT. [/quote]

I agree. Though I think the bolded statement was written backwards. Did you mean they likely applied EA or RD? I have no problem with schools showing preference for ED applicants who are clearly saying that school is their 1st choice. It's funny that posters talking about W&M make no bones about the fact that WM shows huge preference for ED applicants - kids who WANT to be there. Why should VT be any different?

The parents who are upset are those who kids used VT as a safety, when it's anything but. They assumed their kids would get in if their Plan A failed, but that's just not the case. And that's not VT's fault - it's the fault of student who didn't apply ED. Which isn't to say ALL ED applicants are admitted, but it certainly helps.[/quote]
