[quote=Anonymous][quote=georgeglass][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Vt now has more than 1/2 its class from first gen students.[/b] That disadvantages many applicants with college educated parents, disproportionately those from Northern VA. The % first gen at WM and UVA is much lower. [/quote]

Not the other poster, but can provide real numbers!

VT enrolled 943 First Generation students for 2024-25 out of 7,289 in the freshman class. I wasn't a math major, but that's certainly not "more than half."

More data for other comments - the longstanding belief that NOVA kids get accepted at lower rates than other localities. You can check that for yourself for any county/city and VA public college here - https://research.schev.edu/enrollment/b8_admissions_locality.asp[/quote]

DP.  Thank you so much for disproving the PP's ridiculous claim that "more than 1/2 its class is first gen."  I knew that was a lie as soon as I read it.  [/quote]
