[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's their policy if any?  Do kids of alumni get preferential treatment?  Are students who only did a Master's program also considered alumni for this preferential treatment or is that reserved for people who spent a certain amount of time and money there?[/quote]

Is this a joke? [b]Va Tech has a 75 percent acceptance rate?[/quote][/b]

No, it doesn't and anyhow you can't compare acceptance rates of any state school to acceptance rates of private colleges or private universities. The students who apply to UVA, W&M, and UVA all self-select and the public high schools route the best students to the best VA school they think suitable.  So a better measure for how difficult it is to get in is to compare your child's GPA and test scores to the Average median 50% of scores at Tecj.  Here they are: https://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=1568.  All three institutions have kids coming in with very high test scores and high gpa.  A good rule of thumb is that it makes no sense if you are not in the top 10% of your class, say for UVA. because 93.6% acceptances last year were top ten percent of the class.  Average GPA is now 4.43, act average 50% median is 31-35.  Tech's are a bit lower but for engineering where most successful applicants had 4.0 or higher when they applied. [/quote]
