[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see the appeal of the vccs route for kids who just want the degree from the top university.  But many kids want a traditional college experience and are social - ie wanting to join a sorority/fraternity, value social connection and on campus experience.  [/quote]

I agree with that, but when a white, in-state kid with a 4.7 GPA (I incorrectly wrote 4.4 in my original post) doesn't get into the school he wants to go to, it is a great option.   Same for people with economic factors.  My son has been awarded scholarships and grants for his entire 3 semesters (summer 2022, fall 2022, spring 2023) and will show up to VT without having spent a dime on tuition. He also has been working part time.   There is a good chance will spend 3 years there as he is planning on double majoring.  3 years of college is pretty good.

VCCS will bypass the broken college admissions office.  That is the best part. [/quote]

Why should a top student be relegated to a school they have no interest in?  Because they are white?[/quote]
