Yes, out of the Virginia public colleges , W&M, UVA, and Tech have the highest incoming GPA’S and test scores. Yet there are other VA schools with lower stats than Tech’s but also lower admission rates. Also most schools with Tech’s stats have lower admission rates.[b] I don’t understand this. Is it simply that kids who don’t think they will get into Tech are choosing not to apply?[/b][u]  [/quote]

Yes, as several posters have said, the kids that apply to Tech are the ones that really want to go there & are pretty damn sure they can.  I have had 3 nieces/nephews apply to Tech in the last 5 years, all got in & went.   For all three is was the school they wanted to attend since middle school with lots of family & friends have gone there.  They applied and were accepted to other schools but picked Tech.   [/quote]

Except their yield is only 30.4%.  So they don't all want to go their.  It's a big time safety school for many students.  [/quote]
