[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One or two doesn't begin to make a dent in these waitlists.  VT waitlisted 15,000 kids.  How many got off of that waitlist?  Does anyone know?  [b]I doubt they'll ever say the honest truth.[/b]  Waitlists were used to imply hope and all they did was deceive students into thinking they had a chance.  USA Today did a great article on it this week. [/quote]

This is silly. These stats are reported on the colleges' common data sets every year. For admission in Fall 2020, VT offered a place on the waiting list to 10,800 students, 6990 accepted a spot on the waiting list, and ultimately 3959 were admitted (57%).

The stats for Fall 2021 will be reported out next year, so you can satisfy your curiosity then.[/quote]

VT hasn't been transparent at all this application season.  And are they going to report how many people deferred their admission and how that impacted this years stats.  You obviously don't know what this has been like for students applying to VT this year.  There is not way they took 4000 kids this year off the waitlist.  No way!  When those numbers do come out you're going to see maybe they offered 200-300 kids a spot and I guarantee many are OOS.  The admissions department at VT has changed admissions so much.  I won't go into further detail, but being in Northern Virginia high schools doesn't help you much at all.  It's ridiculous and I can see why this person wanted to know the stats.  [/quote]
