[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got into VT - engineering. Probably below average GPA his school. But very high SAT and essays that highlighted the 5 years on community service. We think the essays helped a lot as they demonstrated the “that I may serve” spirit. Good luck to all! [/quote] The more I think about it, I kind of like that VT gives kids with scores/grades that aren't as high as some of those waitlisted a real chance in admissions. No, they aren't as academically qualified as the very high stats kids (but yet are still qualified) and let's face it, kids will be as disingenuous as they think they need to be and even lie in writing how their values align with those of VT, but admissions shouldn't be based solely on academic qualifications once a certain cutoff is met.
