[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]scattergrams were meaningless last year. Its very hard to predict VA Tech these last few years. Best of luck![/quote]

Can you say more about this? Assuming they are kept updated, our kid's school scattergram seems pretty clear re VT[/quote]

here is our FCPS Scattergram from 2021 for Tech. all over the place in my mind.

here's the UVA for comparison. Much more clearcut. (assuming the low SATs that got in were test optional from the covid year)

thats what ours looked like as well. Is this just 2021 though? I know ours incorporated about ten years.[/quote]

This is because the new President is pushing first-generation. Frankly, I don’t think the only polytechnic public institution in the Commonwealth wealth should be doing that -leave that to the privates to social engineer -but that’s what is going on.[/quote]

Of course, public universities in themselves are a sort of social engineering.  Make education more widely available to the population in the hopes that it improves society as a result.

As for those VT scattergrams, they are obviously pulling some particular levers to build their class.  But they also have different schools within the university that have different admissions profiles.  Kids who were rejected from the college of engineering might have similar (or better) stats compared to a student accepted to the college of arts and sciences.  VT also tends to fill most of their class, particularly in engineering, through EA, so kids who might have been accepted EA were rejected RD.  All of that can make for noisy Naviance data compared to a school that is more standardized across the board (I don't know if UVA fits that profile or not).[/quote]
