[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guessing here, without direct knowledge, that a high stats ED kid stands a far better chance of admission than EA. They are really trying to shift to becoming a school of opportunities for those who haven’t had opportunities. If you are high stats and committed, that’s one thing. If you’re using it as one of 5 safety schools, they’d rather skip over you and offer the opportunity to someone who needs it. There are some casualties here: high stats kids for whom VT is first choice but they didn’t apply ED. Chances are good those kids will be accepted through the waitlist; sadly many move in.

Keep in mind also, they will be reabsorbing those who deferred this year. Likely many more than usual.  [/quote]

+1  They've made it clear that increasing enrollment of first-gen and underrepresented groups is a huge priority.  If you aren't that and VT is your first choice you really should apply ED.  My son didn't want to commit to ED because he wanted to give UVA a shot (rejected there).  I was really nervous about that decision but it worked out OK as he did get in to VT.[/quote]

VT grad from the 90s here.  There were a lot of first gen students when I went there.  They were southern white people from small, rural VA towns like Galax, Tazwell, and Richlands.  First gen doesn’t always mean minority.  [/quote]
