Public: JMU, Virginia Tech, George Mason, Christopher Newport

Private: Richmond, Dickinson, Wake Forest, Colgate, Bucknell, Lehigh[/quote]

Some of these are in no way safeties.  Virginia Tech, in particular, should not be on this list.  [/quote]

The privates here are not safeties. Virginia Tech is not a safety. Look at state flagships that are not as competitive for good safety.[/quote]

VT has 70 percent accept rate[/quote]

No, it doesn’t. In 2022 it was 52%.  Also one cannot compare the percentage of acceptances at a state university against privates, the reasons being tgat in-state Virginians self-select (there is only one Virginia Tech and the acceptance figures are well known so students have a very good understanding before they apply if whether or not they will get in … or at least used to until the President went on a URM and first generation tear and started yield protectio n against top TH students and other high stats kids). And, yes, engineering is a public higher admit, especially so because more than half of the VT engineering majors are OOS[/quote]
