[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is in at VCU. But good  school. A city feel. VT has such a following - I don’t get it. But folks seem to like it. JMU is NOVA high school continued. If your kid liked high school, then he/she will like JMU. [/quote]

VT has a "following" because it is an excellent school. What don't you get about that?[/quote]

VT has a following in Virginia. Rah rah. Football. Cultish. Many parents pushing kids there because they went there back in the day when it was easy to get in. But not extraordinary at all. That's what I don't get.[/quote]

Okay. Interesting take.

My DH's company, which is not based in VA, usually only hires graduates from VT, UC Berkeley, MIT, GT, CalTech, Stanford, and Carnegie Mellon.

I'm sure VT is not extraordinary in any way.:roll: That's why their graduates are sought-after by DH's company, as well as other companies.

I'm sure VT is not extraordinary in any way. That's why they are a highly-ranked public school.

Maybe this is a sour grapes situation?[/quote]

I honestly think you are making shit up.  I have never seen a company not based in VA (are they hiring kids for an office in VA) that "only" hires graduates from the top 6 technical schools in the country...and the 7th school is Virginia Tech.

No Perdue, UIUC, UT Austin, Michigan, UCSD, Cornell, the list goes on.  VT isn't even in the top 30 only looking at STEM.[/quote]

Agree this is made up anecdote unless the founder is a VT grad and gives them special interview privileges. [/quote]
