[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT is more pure numbers driven than UVA.  [/quote]

I think the exact opposite.  UVA is all gpa by high school.  Just check naviance and you will see a clear line (in state).  VT is all over the place for engineering.  They value first gen and URM and WL a lot of high stats kids with strong EC.[/quote]

Few of the kids who have the 4.4+ weighted GPA probably have no ECs, but UVA is the most clearly driven by high GPA in a heavily weighted course schedule as the primary defining factor.  You can have kids in at VT from a really wide range of GPAs and SATS and their yield protection shows by the waitlisting of high stats kids.  [b]VT is less selective than UVA by far,[/b] but also way less predictable.[/quote]

DP.  Re: the bolded, this has not been our experience *at all*.  We know so many kids waitlisted or outright rejected from VT - kids who desperately wanted it as their first choice.  It is not easy in the least to get into.[/quote]
