[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My older two kids were waitlisted. My youngest just got in. She's a stronger student, but I think the real difference is that she took a lot of time writing her essays, and her extracurriculars matched her desired major. I feel bad for the students who didn't get in and wanted to go. I thought maybe something was off with the recommendations, but then I remembered VT doesn't look at those. My advice (not that anyone asked) to future students would be to really take your time with your essays. Make sure you are answering what you would contribute to VT and the community, not just why VT is a good choice for you. [/quote] 100% We had a stellar student waitlisted 5 years ago. Her essays were subpar, at best. She landed elsewhere and that worked out well. Another of our kids was accepted yesterday. Excellent student but lower stats and similar rigor. Much better essays. Tech says they are important. Believe the school, whatever the school. [/quote]
