Interesting data. However, for VT, many kids in my child's school were deferred or denied last year with GPA and SAT way above the 75 percentile. Maybe they were deferred because they were over-qualified?[/quote]

Two years ago, we had a higher stats than the 75th percentile who was deferred by Va Tech and ultimately went elsewhere.  Happy and it worked out just fine.

The next year our slightly lower stats kid was accepted (same major) and chose to attend Va Tech.  The difference between the two:  The second kid had higher academic rigor in math and took an AP class in their major junior year so they applied with a grade in that class.  First kid was taking the AP class in their major senior year, so no grade.

And the second kid really focused on the essays.
