[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why in the world would ODU be in and VCU out?  ODU is a poor man’s VCU in every single way and is a likely admit.  It’s also a stronger school academically than CNU notwithstanding that it’s easier to get into.

So far as I’m concerned, when the Big Three (UVA, Tech, W&M) are out, VCU is the way to go.  [/quote]
There is no "Big Three." You made that up.[/quote]

Yes I did.  I’m talking about from a competitive admissions standpoint.  There’s those three, then everyone else. [/quote]
VT has long accepted the majority of applicants.[/quote]

Sure, it’s not UVA or W&M.  But it’s well ahead of every other VA state school and that hasn’t always been the case. [/quote]
Not sure about "well ahead." Seems similar to JMU, which says a lot.[/quote]

You might want to try this little thing called Google. For JMU, they had 36,000 applications and accepted 27,000. And the average SAT is 1260. It’s not even close.  Not to mention that JMU’s yield is among the lowest in the state.[/quote]
A 1260 is basically the same as a 1360. The two schools are not that different. You need to get a grip.[/quote]

Are you on here just to troll?  When one large school has an average SAT score that is 100 points higher than the other,  then yes their admissions profiles ARE different.  A 1260 is the 87th percentile and a 1360 is the 95th percentile.
