[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]

Vtech is really weird. They definitely yield protect, so deserves no respect. Dc waitlisted,  in state however accepted to every public ivy business program.  With acceptance rates of less than 10%.   Dc has very high stats and strong Ecs   But now don’t even care if they accept and give any merit. [/quote]

VT doesn't yield protect.  Sorry.  From their website:

"Yield Protection
Virginia Tech does not participate in yield protection."[/b]
