[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the chances from in state if they haven’t been big into community service… but has the highest rigor in core subjects and great SAT?
Waitlisted in EA[/quote]

My kid made it in with strong stats but not as strong as a lot of kids here who were waitlisted. He also didn’t have exceptional community service. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of hate for that but I do think he was able to differentiate himself thru the prompts - he articulated a creative way he applies his (engineering) skills to serve the community and specifically how he wants to use them at vt. It was not fancy or world changing but it was honest. point being if your kid was able to to convey that he served the community in a meaningful and unique way even if it was not in a big way, then yes, I personally think he has a chance of being accepted.[/quote]

Congratulations to your son! 
I do think this was a big factor how the kids portrayed themselves in the prompts. I thought ds’  answers were good…but didn’t work.
Lets see now see May 1 st is very late for the VT waitlist decision….and am sure we will have to accept somewhere else by May 1st.[/quote]
