[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid did this. Applied to 8 schools, had a 4.1w and 1380 sat in Fcps Va. got waitlisted or rejected at top 50 us news in Va.

Accepted to 5 schools in the 70-150 range, all large state or D1 schools.

He is very happy where he is, he received merit aid and the major is great. He’s having fun too and I’m not worried about him getting a job.

DH and I had to get over our egos a bit because we went to higher ranked schools, but that was in the 90s. He’s getting a great education, and he can go to a top tier grad school if he ever wants a pedigree. [/quote]

Did he apply to Vtech?[/quote]

Yes. He applied to uva, wm, Va tech and jmu. Rejected from uva, admitted for spring semester WM, waitlisted but never got off the waitlist for Va tech, and accepted at jmu.

The issue we think was him applying as a business major, not being first gen, and not being an URM, and being from a top nova high school and being male, all did not work in favor for Va tech. His friends with lower stats got in to Va tech but not as business majors.

For the business school for his demographics, I think he needed like a 4.2w and like a 1450+ gpa.

He’s happy now at a great OOS public business school program.
