[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friend of mine-graduating class of 2023-in state VA-kid got into Purdue-but rejected VA Tech. You just never know…[/quote]

We know one from 2023 and several of DS's friends from 2024 with the same outcomes. 
It is common at the governor's school and the top stem magnet county schools: VT knows many more details about these test-in high schools, due to the fact that they are in state. UVA does too. Both are aware that DE Calc in 11th grade and 12th grade with DE physics and/or Chem taken after advanced high school Physics and Chem, is around the "average" track at these schools. Purdue does not seem to be aware nor care. The school's own data for one of these schools clearly shows Purdue is an easier admit than VT, for Engineering /CS.

The top 10-15% of students are "top track":AP CalcBC in 11th and DE MV/LA/DiffEq in 12th, as well as AP physics C, AP Chem, often before 12th.. Those are the kids that have a decent shot at GT OOS as well as Stanford/Ivies/JHU for Engineering, and all of them get into VT and UVA for Engineering, as well as Purdue easily. [/quote]
