[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hilariously skewed admissions. Proves it is a joke. Son’s HS classmate waitlisted at Tech, admitted to Harvard. Another of his friends (URM), admitted to Pamplin with a 3.2 GPA 2 AP classes and didn’t submit scores. (All Same NOVA HS) His plan was VCU if he could even get in. He couldn’t believe it. My son has now turned into a cynic about URM admissions. What a shame. FYI Tech has waitlisted 15,000 this year (6700 total openings)[/quote]

[b]First of all, we aren’t about to start calling it “Pamplin” like it’s Wharton or Stern. This is not a household name, not a top business school, it’s just VT. [/b]In addition, they take kids in the 3.5 range all the time, so a 3.2 isn’t a big stretch. I have seen so many posts on this forum about how “unfair” it is that so many underrepresented students were admitted when more deserving students were denied or waitlisted. I hope they're all written by you. Dear God, I hope it’s just one of you.
Just stop. You aren’t the admissions committee, and decisions are made based on what they see in a student, and your opinion is irrelevant. [/quote]

This just made me laugh so hard - especially because I had just had to Google “Pamplin.”  Thanks for that![/quote]
