[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why this isn't a simple answer? OP- yes, it is absolutely harder to get into Virginia Tech than it is to get into JMU. My kids went to a public school in LCPS- and JMU was the fallback to Tech. (Both great schools, but in order of difficulty in getting in, it was definitely: UVA, William and Mary, Tech, and JMU. (Minus the Tech Engineering applicants)[/quote]

I don't think our FCPS HS is so clear-cut. It's generally UVA at the top, but I know a few students who chose W&M over UVA. And I know quite a few students who chose VT over W&M. I agree that JMU is the fallback among the rest, though students love JMU when they end up there. [/quote]

Lots of students at our high school choose VT over both UVA and W&M.  [/quote]

Same at ours. Students are liking the vibe at VT over UVA and W&M. Not sure why, but it’s true. [/quote]

DP.  I think it’s pretty evident why.  It’s a school that has it all, to include smart, well-rounded students, excellent academics (not just STEM - their liberal arts college is fantastic too), a wide variety of activities and clubs, a beautiful campus and surrounding area, and fun social life.[/quote]

You just described UVA and, to a large extent, W&M too.[/quote]
