[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please list stats — curious about the couple pps with sons and thought tech was a match and kids rejected. 
I’ll be in this spot in a year. [/quote]

Deferred with 4.0UW/4.5W/1570 and 13 APs or post-APs. [/quote]

That is nuts. Where else did they apply?[/quote]

Princeton, Harvard, Hopkins, Duke, UVA, bunch of others. VT was lowest ranked school. Already in at several higher ranked schools. If you are high stats and want VT, better go ED and show tons of interest. [/quote]

Couldn’t this be yield protection? And wouldn’t they be right? You don’t actually want VT.[/quote]

It probably is yield protection. We have had friends with in-state kids be accepted to Ga Tech, ND, CMU, Fl and UNC get wait listed at Va Tech.  VA Tech is a great school but those all have much lower acceptance rates.   I understand why a small private school might want to do this but state schools are suppose to serve the state. Not sure how this serves the states. If anything the results seems to be that it pushes high stat kids out of state.

This and any well-regarded in state school is often a contender for the hi stats kid because of cost over any much higher ranked school. Cost seems to be the wild card that warrants against guessing who will accept the offer. 
But I guess VT know better than me.[/quote]
