[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious why it matters to you what a college's admission's rate is? I'd be more interested in its graduation rate and it's job placement rate. I.e. outcomes.

[b]Seems weird to care about an admissions rate[/b].[/quote]

It’s curiosity. Plus it just doesn’t make sense. The school has vey high stats for incoming Freshmen. E erroneous knows it’s one of the hardest Virginia schools to be admitted to. Yet the admissions rate is considerably higher than schools with much lower stats.

[b]"one of the hardest Virginia schools to be admitted to" with a 70% admission rate? [/b] Check your math.  It's not hard to get into.

It's also not in demand outside of Virginia.  It's actually EASIER to get in from OOS.  [/quote]

Yes, out of the Virginia public colleges , W&M, UVA, and Tech have the highest incoming GPA’S and test scores. Yet there are other VA schools with lower stats than Tech’s but also lower admission rates. Also most schools with Tech’s stats have lower admission rates. I don’t understand this. Is it simply that kids who don’t think they will get into Tech are choosing not to apply?  [/quote]
