[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]VT is playing the social engineering game with the state kids and it is tiring and frustrating. A state school should represent the make-up of the state and any school that has the outright goal of 40% URM/1st Gen is not representing the population of the state that it is supposed to serve.[/b] 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]

Interesting that you don't complain about UVA or W&M doing exactly the same thing - but refusing to acknowledge it.  I'd much rather have a school that is transparent and honest than one that hides their admission goals.  Any school that uses ED uses it to determine who is serious about the school vs who is not.  Can't say I blame them.

Regarding OOS/in-state - where on earth are you getting this?  How would you possibly know the stats of those accepted vs. rejected?  [/quote]
