[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But lower stats kids did get in.  That’s why we know stats are not relevant to VT.[/quote]

Obviously, those "lower stats" kids had things your kid did not.  You have no idea what they brought to the table - what kinds of EC, leadership, commitments outside of school, interests, etc.  No idea whatsoever.  You also have no idea the rigor of their classes, etc.  In short, you simply don't know, though you obviously think you have all the answers.  [/quote]

One thing is for certain - VT is not closely examining or carefully scrutinizing each of its 45,000 applications. [/quote]

They DO read the essays, which they deem "very important." [/quote]

Clearly you’re not in the loop. VT does NOT read the essay and they proudly admit this.  They read their four supplemental questions though. [/quote]

:roll: By "essays" I meant the supplemental questions. Those are the "essays" they consider "very important". Obviously, since they clearly say they don't look at the Common App essay. They also don't look at recommendations so if you want VT to know anything about you, give a lot of attention to their questions.[/quote]
