[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS 2024 in state business major never got off the waitlist last year.

He is thriving at one of his 5 other acceptance options.

FWIW, it’s probably a rejection. Try to remember the downsides of VT: annoyingly hard to get to from DC and rural, big and you have to navigate a lot yourself, not an amazing freshman experience from most accounts, ugly architecture, and their football team/ pride and joy has been terrrible lately.

PS I would do this exercise with any school that rejected my kid or waitlisted them. Try it on and see how it feels. [/quote] ppl

DP.  Yes, that is certainly the perspective an immature and disgruntled parent would take - very clear your kid wasn’t accepted.

My DC has never had a hard time navigating anything at VT.  The advisor she was assigned since the summer before freshman year has been excellent and helped steer her through a major change.

Her freshman orientation and year was fabulous and she made some of her closest friends within her dorm and organizations related to her major.  Most people report similar accounts.  It’s a happy place full of smart, down to earth students.  Oh, and the campus is lovely.

The rural, mountainous aspect of the school is a draw, not a negative.  Tons of outdoor activities to do in a gorgeous area.

So sorry your kid never got to experience any of that.[/quote]

I’m sorry you can’t take what I think is a fairly benign and honest assessment of the flaws of one school. It’s one perspective. Flaws can be found in every school.

But none of your comments were accurate.  I mean, you're certainly entitled to dislike the school because your kid didn't get in, but at least be factual.  [/quote]
