[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every fall on these boards I watch people comment how VT is a safety school for their kid and by December there is wailing and gnashing of teeth wondering how VT could have rejected their kid with the 5.9 GPA, or whatever. It's an annual holiday tradition.[/quote] My DS, from FCPS, was rejected from VT but accepted to W&M and UVA. I don't think DS would have gone to VT if he had gotten in, but it was still a head scratcher. [/quote] Perhaps yield protection? [/quote] VT says right on their website that they do not yield protect. "Yield Protection Virginia Tech does not participate in yield protection." https://www.vt.edu/admissions/undergraduate/counselor-corner.html[/quote] Have you ever seen a school say that they do?[/quote] I've actually never seen a school be completely upfront about it like VT and say they do NOT.
