[quote=Anonymous][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]

My son is a top student with a 4.7 high school GPA, 1550 SAT, etc, etc and didn't get in to the school that he wanted to, because the admissions office is broken.  VCCS will allow him to go to the school he want to (VT) and he will be debt free when he gets there as a junior.  VCCS is a great option that a lot of people should look at.  As long as you can hack a 3.4 GPA, you can go where you want and avoid the college admissions office.  And again, F the college admissions people.     [/quote]
