[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually do believe VT wait lists some very high stat kids if they don't apply ED ( Which they stopped ) as a way to yield protect OR give the spot to someone who really wants and needs it.  If that it turns out the high stats wait listed kid really does want or need the spot, they will be pulled off the wait-list first.

I only have anecdotal evidence of this, no proof.
I know VT appreciates economic diversity and first generation kids.  They are a public U and are here for the to educate the students and benefit the community [/quote]

I actually think that high stat kids that view VT as a safety either aren’t putting in enough effort on the extra questions/essays or their ECs were not community-minded (maybe they were primarily academic. Or sport. VT seems to heavily emphasize community service)

Ultimately, we will never know why anyone gets deferred, WL or rejected. So it’s all just conjecture [/quote]

This was my high stats kid.

Engineering major. In at Northwestern, Michigan and Carnegie Mellon, wait listed VT.   They thought the short essays were stupid, so I am sure they did not put 100% effort into them.[/quote]
