[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posters that keep saying that if you want VT you have to ED. I personally hate ED. Especially when it is a public university. I mean, come on! The primary purpose should be to educate Virginia residents. High stats kids should be able to consider all state schools, like you see in California. ED benefits colleges with guaranteed yield and full pay students. ED doesn’t really benefit students. Why shouldn’t kids get a chance to consider multiple colleges come April?[/quote]

I personally love ED.  It's the only way to actually prove a school is your first choice - I wish MORE schools offered it.  And it's no guarantee of admission at VT (or anywhere), btw - it just helps.  If you want to play the field, feel free!  Consider all the schools you want.  But don't expect schools to accept your kid if they have plenty of others who have the right stats, the whole package, AND will definitely attend.  There are thousands of qualified applicants.  I think some parents here like to think that *their* kid is the most qualified ever.  [/quote]
