[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It says 25% have received offers. Why all the panic and immediate hate for VT? Their yield is nothing to get all freaked out about. Many of those kids in the 25% will have offers from great universities that they will accept. Or financial aid/merit. Or a yes from an instate like MD.

Exactly!   
VT averages around 30% yield most years so 25% of applicants getting offers doesn't mean 25% of "seats are taken" as someone suggested above. More like 7.5% of seats potentially taken.  They still have to fill over 92% of seats![/quote]

VT did not send emails to everyone with ED applications.  They only sent the email to some students.  Assumption being that these are the ED applicants that are already reviewed.

The issue is that they sent only some kids the letter, but then did not give many of them an answer, even if it is a rejection or deferral, though clearly their application has likely been reviewed and a decision made.

If VT sent emails to ALL of the ED applicants, then it would be no big deal.

But to send emails to only some ED applicants, but then nothing beyond the check your portal email, is a really stupid way to go about it.

At least Tennessee Knoxville's thing was accidental.  VT did this intentionally.[/quote]

VT does not have ED. [/quote]
