[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I checked out the link above for freshman stats. VA Tech's reqmts are not as high as UVA, but I heard it's very competitive for engineering. True? So maybe these stats don't reflect that?[/quote] They historically accepted 70-74% of applicants for engineering until last year, when admissions announced they were going to be more selective. They accepted something like 55-60% and they rest got in off the waitlist. It sounds like yield protection, but regardless, this new admissions format means it will be a few years before anyone can tell you what the trend is for VPI.[/quote] Actual yield calculation would take into account waitlist acceptances. They could be using this approach to signal that it is becoming more selective and hope that the reality follows. [/quote] With the waitlist, you can assess interest because people a) withdraw and b) write interest letters. [/quote]
