[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of tippy top students take a shot at T20, have UVA as a backup and throw in an application to VT as a super safety. [b]VT got tired of this about 5-6 years ago[/b]. Now VT has to thread the needle pretty carefully to pick up those that really want to come there. [/quote] +1 my son applied five years ago. When looking at his school scattergrams, there was a very clear pattern of acceptance in the upper quadrant. His year there were a lot of surprises of higher stat kids getting waitlisted or denied. Ever since ( I have a couple younger kids), the VT results are hard to predict and that upper quadrant of the scattergram is a real mix. Nobody should count on it as a safety [/quote] Obviously, no one should count it as a safety -- especially for engineering, business, etc. But the very high stats kids with excellent short essays are all getting in. The very high stats kids with bad essays (in VT's eyes) are not.[/quote]
