[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT does not yield protect. I know some.people want to use this as an excuse for their kids not getting in, but that does not make it true. VT will definitely reject/waitlist a "high stats" kid that does not take the time to appropriately answer their 4 short essay questions. The 20:57 PP on page 2, for example, does not take the time to proofread their posts. Perhaps their essays were also riddled with grammatical errors. [/quote] I'm skeptical that the essays are of such importance that they are weighted the same as, or take precedence over, GPA, class rigor, test scores, etc. After all, essays are not infrequently written by parents, paid consultants, etc. rather than the applicant. And even if a first draft is written by the student, edits by other persons can result in a very different product. Also, please don't tell me that the reviewers can tell if an essay is not written by the applicant - they would have no way of knowing this. [/quote]
