Afraid we are on the deferred/waitlist/deny train.  [/quote]

So Va Tech is harder to get into than William & Mary? I just read the William & Mary ED thread and almost all the accepted stats are around 4.1 or 4.2 weighted with lower SAT. Some 4.0 weighted.[/quote]

The demand for VT ComSci/Eng. is greater than the demand for W&M (anything).  Yes, there are people who really prefer what W&M offers, but their numbers are significantly less than the number of people who want a CS/Eng degree from VT.

The world is being taken over (has been taken over) by CS people.  I don't even thing Engineering is really very hot.  If you look at what the TJHSST graduates are planning to study in college it seems that the VAST VAST majority are all planning to study CS in college.  You don't see hardly any actual Engineering majors, doctors, Physics, Chemistry.  It's scary and depressing that the kids who would have been going into those majors 15 yrs ago are almost ALL pursuing computer science now.  We still need people in the hard sciences (and the soft sciences too!).  [/quote]
