[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, he can get into VT. He needs to know which he prefers: VT or JMU. Voice that repeatedly to his HS counselor. State it plainly in his application. Shower one school with love. Not both. Imho don't even apply to both. Don't risk getting into the one he doesn't prefer.

Worst advice ever.  Neither are guaranteed with a 3.7 weighted.  Many surprise waitlists this year at JMU and VT always has the chance of being waitlisted.  Don't be like some of my daughter's friends and only apply to one school and then having to scramble at the last minute to find out who is still taking applications when they get deferred and then waitlisted.[/quote]

I agree, terrible advice, especially the suggestion to only apply to one. Insane![/quote]

Wow, no, agree with these PP. At our school there were kids with 1500 SAT and 3.9W GPA not getting in to VT. My own DS did not get in with 3.9W and 1440. And this was for poly sci not engineering.

I think there is much better luck with JMU.[/quote]
