[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have kids at Marshall you already know the answer: most kids don’t post on IG, and plenty of kids got admitted to UVA but going elsewhere including my kid. He is going to a much higher rated program for what he wants to study. You can’t see how many get accepted to each school. For example, there were 3 Northwestern acceptances for Marshall kids that I know of, but only one is going there.

Also, VT has a much more generous IB credit policy than UVA, so it does play a role in what kids choose. There is more and more interest in engineering and STEM and VT is just better at those than UVA. [/quote]

Your kid didn't get into UVA[/quote]

You are an idiot who thinks UVA is the best thing one could hope for. Aim higher.

He applied EA (all his apps were EA) and only added UVA because they dropped the supplementals. He is one of the 13 Marshall NMF and got in many other places, going out of state, and thank goodness for that. [/quote]

Parent of Marshall freshman.  Congrats to your son![/quote]
