[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]y[b]es, most in state people will think a Virginia Tech student was a UVA reject.  W&M is sui generis[/b].[/quote]

I don't think you have kept up and have any understanding how difficult it is to get into these schools today.  And Tech is a TECH school, like Cal Tech, Purdue, Georgia Tech.  Go go there for engineering, vet science, architecture, animal husbandry, etc etc.   You don't go to Cal Tech for poly-sci.[/quote]

I went to Virginia Tech for political science. It has a good liberal arts program, too. Not as strong as the STEM programs, but still very good.

I did not want to go to either UVA or WM, so I do not nor have I ever felt inferior or like a reject. They are all completely different schools. I feel like I won. I got a great in-state education and had a blast. Out in the “real world” nobody cared where I even went to school after I got my first job.

To be fair, it was a lot easier to get in back when I went to college so take my experience with a grain of salt. [/quote]
