[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT does not focus on grades and test scores.  I have no idea what they do care about though.[/quote]Grades seemed the most important based on Naviance. It was one of the schools that had an easy to see line - almost everyone got in with a GPA over x and few got in below that number. The Test scores were not as easy to assess. [/quote]

Maybe at your kid’s school.  UVA had a clear line which we appreciated.  VT did not for my kid’s school.  And results for class of 2022 were even harder to predict.  [b]Many high stats kids did not get in. [/b] They are clearly chasing something other than grades and test scores.  [/quote]

But many did.  They don't have room for ALL high stats kids, so they have to pick and choose.  Why can't people realize this?

Then what are they differentiating on?[/quote]

Quality of classes taken (rigor) and answers to the supplemental questions, I imagine - among other things.  Again, not every high stat kid is going to be accepted, and that goes for any school.[/quote]
