It’s funny until you realize your neighbor actually thinks VT students are UVA rejects. [/quote]

Well, let's be honest:  there are a lot more UVA rejects at Tech than there are Tech rejects at UVA.[/quote]

There are plenty of students at VT who were accepted to both schools and chose VT.  And I can absolutely see why.

Sure there are.  But there are also more UVA rejects at Tech than vice-versa.[/quote]

:lol:  Your insecurity just jumps off the screen.  Bless your heart.[/quote]

All im saying is that there’s some truth to the good old fashion dig that the wahoos give out at the annual rivalry game.  [/quote]

Not really.  Especially when so many VT kids were *also* accepted to UVA yet chose VT.  That speaks volumes.  But keep telling yourself whatever you need to. [/quote]

I think this is a rare exception probably only in specific engineering majors. I don’t think there are “so many” who make this decision generally. [/quote]

DP.  I have two kids there right now who not only chose VT over UVA (and for liberal arts majors, not STEM) but who know quite a few others who did the same thing.  [b]Not sure why this would be surprising to you.[/quote]

Same with my kids.  This is perfectly normal, to normal people.[/quote]

it’s not that simple when you realize that a) you have to get a job out of these institutions and that b) UVA is ranked 25/26 in the nation but  VT is ranked 51. Compound that further by the fact that 80% of all students change their major at least over, so that sought after engineering admit becomes animal husbandry …[/quote]

Ah, the usual dolt who refuses to acknowledge that VT has [b]seven colleges[/b] to choose from, to include the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences.  My VT liberal arts grads had no problem whatsoever getting very good jobs with their degrees.  [/quote]

They would now particularly if not [b]nepo[/b] babies [/quote][b]

Legacy was outlawed at Virginia publics several years ago[/quote]

Exactly.  “Legacy admissions” ended at UVA some time ago.

Perhaps it’s that same person who keeps mixing up UVA with Harvard? (and yes, Harvard still has legacy admissions up to 30% of each incoming class.  [b]UVA does not[/b]).[/quote]

Source?[/quote]

Google it yourself.[/quote]
