[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year this happens and every year I don’t understand why people get upset. It is the same story just about every time: “my super high stat kid was waitlisted”. Well did they visit? No. Was VT a priority? No. Did they ED? No. Was VT even near the top of your list? No. Then why be upset? VT took the kids that wanted to be there, and by the way, those kids had good stats too.[/quote]

Did it all except ED. Tech was first choice by a mile but kid wanted to show A grade in challenging math course first semester. Got A. Was waitlisted and will likely go to GMU but a little disappointed in the end.[/quote]
VT does not look at senior year grades AT ALL. Your senior received bad advice if that was their only reason for not EDing. [/quote]

It’s ridiculous if colleges don’t look at senior year grades. So, 25% of a kid’s high school transcript is just ignored? DS’ had all A’s freshman year, grades dropped somewhat during the screwed up distance learning fiasco, but recovered after schools reopened and he has straight A’s senior year. Rejected from VT, accepted elsewhere with merit, and still waiting on a few. Not a CS or engineering major.[/quote]

I could be wrong, but I think the PP meant VT doesn’t look at senior year grades for ED/EA?  But I think for RD they do.[/quote]
