[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do know someone whose child got rejected from VT earlier this year with a 3.98 GPA.  [/quote]

Why? They accept 70 percent of applicants versus George Mason which is more selective, better location and more prestigious in the DC area.

VT grads are hicks.[/quote]

As posted earlier.  I guess in your defense GMU does select a lower percentage of the [b]much less qualified[/b] students that apply.

Didn't go to either school, but I found this question interesting.

They don't report average GPA of entering students, but the average GPA of accepted students had the following range: Middle 50% GPA of students offered admission: 3.84-4.27

I saw on another site that the average GPA of entering freshmen was 3.93; seems reasonable based on the reported range. I'm sure GMU reports a weighted GPA as well.

The [b]kids applying to GMU have significant lower grades and SAT scores than kids applying to VT[/b]. That's a much better indication of selectivity than the percentage of admitted students. Based on the scores/GPAs a large number of GMU kids wouldn't get into VT.
