[quote=Anonymous][quote] Also, why accept lower stat OOS kids over high stat in-state?? That makes no sense at all to me. The majority of state schools do the opposite. The theory of high stat kids using it as a safety shouldn't matter; look at Pitt - they accept high stat kids and are fully aware that many of them consider it a safety but a lot of those kids end up attending, loving the school and increasing the caliber of the school.[/quote] First, Pitt has rolling admission and accepts lots of kids who apply early. Second, looking at the FCPS numbers, very few kids select Pitt, especially now that merit aid isn't as generous. A high stat kid who applies late is taking the same risk at VT. I fully support kids taking a shot at their favorite, higher ranked school, but they should do so with the understanding that VT may not be their back up (and, it likely won't be if they're applying for CS or engineering).
