[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT is playing the social engineering game with the state kids and it is tiring and frustrating. A state school should represent the make-up of the state and any school that has the outright goal of 40% URM/1st Gen is not representing the population of the state that it is supposed to serve. Also, why accept lower stat OOS kids over high stat in-state?? That makes no sense at all to me.  The majority of state schools do the opposite. 
The theory of high stat kids using it as a safety shouldn't matter; look at Pitt - they accept high stat kids and are fully aware that many of them consider it a safety but a lot of those kids end up attending, loving the school and increasing the caliber of the school.  [/quote]

VA is 60% white. So 40% URM tracks.

VA is 6% Asian. So are you mad VaTeach is not aiming for 34% URM???[/quote]

Wrong.  Almost 70% white and 7% Asian.  20% Black. Negligible hispanics.  What were you saying again?

Google fall 2022 class Virginia tech most diverse.  Figure given by VT is 40.4% URM, underserved and first generation

Virginia Demographics

According to the most recent ACS, the racial composition of Virginia was:

White: 66.32%
    Black or African American: 19.05%
    Asian: 6.7%
    Two or more races: 4.77%
    Other race: 2.83%
    Native American: 0.27%
    Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.07%[/quote]

Not PP you're responding to, but negligible Hispanics does not seem right. [/quote][/quote]
