[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are so oversubscribed they should make an arrangememt with [b]GMU (or UVA[/b] W&M JMU etc) to have the NoVA students have an option to take intro/freshman classes locally at GMU and then go to VT for the next level.  They are both state unis so tuition reconciliation for these students should not be too complicated.

Even if 200-300 students took the opportunity it would allow VT at least 1 semester to line up housing for these students.

No room at GMU or UVA.  Both are oversubscribed.  GMU junior and senior students have been ordered out of the dorms in order to make room for the incoming class.[/quote]

There is room at W&M, JMU, Longwood, Radford, and Mary Washington (source is other forums) If Tech had made the right number of offers, 1000+ students could have found a home at one of the other state colleges in the first place. Their actions have a ripple effect.[/quote]

How is there room at W&M?  They have been enrolling right at target.  [/quote]

I don't think there's room at W&M--other than the usual around 100 students they admit from the waitlist.  But that's built into their enrollment target.[/quote]
