[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tech has a different vibe than uva so where would dc thrive? UVA has a better overall reputation so that dininshes the tech engineering ranking [/quote]

UVA.
The scores of the UVA engineering students are much higher than those of the average VT engineers. The peer group is not strong enough to push the 1450+ kids at VT. That being said, UCB, CMU, or ivies/Stanford/MIT would be even better than UVA, for the 1530+, for the same reason: not enough peer match at UVA. [/quote]

That[b] seems a bit of a stretch.[/quote][/b]

Actually, they make a very good point. Statistically, they are two different peer groups. UVA’s 75th percentile scores are a 1510 SAT, a 35 ACT and a 4.5 GPA. VT’s are 1430/32/4.33. The discrepancies are much larger at the 25th percentile where UVA is 1420/32/4.2 but VT’s are 1270/28/3.89.[/quote]

Got it. This is for the schools of engineering? Or for the entire freshman classes?[/quote]

I've never seen a breakdown of scores at VT by engineering. Pretty certain this is for the whole school.[/quote]
