[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just happens that way because OOS yield is very low and in state yield is high. OOS families seem to be deciding that VT is expensive/not worth it compared to their other options.[/quote]

It’s definitely expensive OOS. Maybe it’s worth it for engineering, but for other majors you can find a better ROI.[/quote]

Not anymore. My kid is going there. as a Freshman it was once of best value. In Maryland they have one flagship. If you go to a W shool they greatly limited amount of applicants. So my kids with a 4.66 WGPA and 13 APs turned down. So she got in Penn State, zero aid, got in Pitt, zero aid. got in Delaware and Binghamton with some aid but she hated them.

Virginia Tech was less tuition than Pitt and Penn state and gave a 3K merit (not much) so VT it was. and not suprisingly a lot of W school kids ended up there last year. Two of her friend with a 4.5 to 4.7 WGPA and 13-14 APs are in MoCo community college now as parents did not want to pay OOS and plan to transfer to University of Maryland. neighter wanted a step down to Towson or UMBCC. That is messed up. It is also peak birth years now. in a year or two be easer to get into college. Less babies born in 2009-2010 during recession and financial crisis.          [/quote]
