Perhaps, but the 59% reduction in applicants to one of the state's largest universities with the largest and most comprehensive engineering school that tries to position itself as the STEM option and instrumental in landing Amazon (I apologize here for the run on sentence) is really surprising.

VTech was puzzling for us (2019)
Accepted but did not get an invite into honors college. Applied early action. GPA/ACT was near top of cohort.
I hope we were an anomaly but perhaps VTech values a different type of kid.

Similarly, my kid was a nmsf finalist / high gpa student, but did not get invited to the honors college. She was invited to be a Monroe scholar at W&M.[/quote]

I think everyone can agree VT admissions this year was a massive clusters—k.    Overenrolled by 1000 kids.  TJ admissions down by well over 50%. TJ accepted below Pitt, now honors college admissions.

I am placing 90% of the blame on Coalition App.  Kids aren’t bothering to apply unless VT is a top choice, so Vat miscalculated yield.  Ditto TJ kids not applying because of it. As to Honors College, Coalition allegedly promotes overlooked or underrepresented kids.  I have not seen it in action, but someone I trust who did remarked that it really shafted high performing non-minorities. [/quote]
