[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So wait.  Are all the JMU people just going to ignore the fact that Tech has higher stats?  Honestly, if someone said UVA was better than VT and cited those same stats, no one would quarrel with the analysis.  But if someone does the same with VT and JMU, there is a whole lot of additional discussion.  Can't understand how all the nonsense and perception crap factors in.  Those are the scores of the students entering the two schools.  End of discussion.  [/quote]

We just toured all three (including UVA),tomorrow Wash. & Lee.  DC was not at all interested in UVA but thrilled with TECh.  He wants to apply to the Engineering College and has learned it is ot going to be easy, even with all his xlnt credentials.  Admissions office gave us some great ideas.  We were very impressed.  Stats are much lower at JMU.  He has no interest in attending there either.  As for male/female ratio, we were on VT campus two days and I certainly didn't notice anything.  The actual stats are 48% women and 52% men due to the ROTC programs, although I saw many women in fatigues.  For engineering or architecture it is the top in the state.  The campus felt very safe.  Clearly the 31,275 students and faculty have moved on.  I certainly felt more safe there than my SLAC or Ivy (both in bad areas).  Loved the "give back" motto. Students were great.  Food is no. 2 on one of the reviews and it was indeed excellent.  No, I don't know which college or university ranked no. 1.  It certainly wasn't my slac.  We came away very impressed and, no, no Hokies in the family.[/quote]
