[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems in general that they are trying to get out of being a safety school. Some high stat kids have been turned down the last couple of years while lower stat kids admitted.  They probably don’t care much about early action. It’s just more kids applying to a long list of schools and it doesn’t help them predict their enrollment. They might get a handful of yeses to EA offers. How would it help them better manage their enrollment?[/quote]

VT is not and has never been a "safety school"

And has not let in kids with lower stats than others for a majority.

You're kidding, right?  Anyone in the state of Virginia knows that Tech is a common safety school.  70% acceptance rate will do that.  It's a fine school.  But let's not deny reality.  [/quote]. you are so wrong. Look at the SCHEV stats. We’ve got two threads going at the same time bashing both VT and W&M at the same time for absurd claims.  Look at the stats of the entering class. That’s your proof that these institutions are doing just fine and are highly sought after by the best in the Commonwealth. I have no dog in this race so I suspect the usual sour grapes thAt come this time of year when applicants don’t get in ED or EA.  We are very fortunate to have such fine institutions for state residents. Jeff has been responsive to school bashing in the past. If this doesn’t stop I  will report as I have in the past.  The actual Gpa and test scores if the entering class for both can be found at SCHEV.edu.  Those stats show how difficult it has become to get into these schools.  I would have been thrilled to have one of my kids go to these schools but she didn’t have the stats.  VT may be a safety fir TJ top scorers but it is not as PP says. And yes students from Virginia self- select into these schools and are also self-directed by state high school college counselors who have to check off that “most rigorous” box. As a Virginian who sent three to in-state schools (one now at oxford: another in law school) I find these institution bashing threads elitist and for the most part both ignorant and cruel to the tens of thousands of students who attend them and are trying very hard to get in. So I report and Jeff almost always deletes[/quote]
