[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC applied to all three of these schools last cycle and will be trying again. These three schools are getting more competitive and out of reach for everyday people. I think each of them should be split up into multiple different schools that each have less competitive admissions or they should each double in size. Not just a 10% increase or 2% increase every year or whatever thing like that. They need to start construction NOW to build at least 2x the housing, classrooms, etc. to accommodate double the number of students and all new students should be required to come from Virginia. These admissions practices have gone way too far. As soon as admission rates hit below 50% for in-state applicants there should be mandatory student body expansions[/quote]

EYE ROLL. They are not for "everyday" students. VT, the easiest of the 3, takes students who are a little above average at many good high schools in Virginia. These three are top in the state, akin to UNCH and NCSU. Or UCB and UCLA. Your student should find a place they fit where they can have a decent chance at top-half in their area of interest. Or work their butt off and try to transfer in, recognizing they will still likely be below average once they get there. Expanding just dilutes the talent and makes the professors have to water it down. [/quote]
