[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It helps VT to know some acceptances early so they can better manage yield. It helps students to know earlier so they can make a decision, especially if VT is their first choice. [/quote] This is true, but I think given the delayed FAFSA situation this year, quite a few kids may wait until May 1 to inform schools. My DC was at a large party Friday night. Three students who were accepted have already decided they won't attend VT (UGA, TN or Clemson and UVA), but didn't have plans to notify VT until their deadline. My DC also said quite a few kids were annoyed with the recent email and mid Feb notice. It sounds like many thought/hoped decisions would be released earlier given the lack of ED. I wonder if this confusing approach will hurt VT's yield. [/quote]

What made them think decisions would be earlier, considering EA at VT has always come out in Feb?  Your story sounds completely made up.  No doubt it is *you* who is still annoyed and complaining about this nonissue.[/quote]i

The story is completely meaningless. Vindictive or not students hold on to their offers until the deadline. The schools know this. They plan accordingly. They don’t send out a new offer as soon as one’s been declined, there’s already redundancy.[/quote]

It's obvious that poster was making up a story because s/he is still fuming.  Ridiculous.[/quote]
