[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know how UVA is Virginia's flagship university where Virginia's top students attend, and [b]VT is the de facto STEM flagship with strong STEM programs where Virginia's top STEM talent attends[/b]? Well, can you help me identify some other states' comparable STEM flagship? For instance...

U Michigan/Michigan State U
UT Austin/Texas A&M 
UNC Chapel Hill/NC State 
U Georgia/Georgia Tech
Ohio State/?
Penn State/?
Rutgers/?
Others?

False premise.  As someone else indicated, top Virginia STEM talent does not go to Virginia Tech.  Some of it does, but certainly not most.  A higher number of  TJ grads go to UVA and W&M than to VT, and TJ is the top STEM high school in the state.  [/quote]

Please post your citations.

NP. This is TJ from last year (beginning on page 18).  VT may get more in 2024 since they got rid of the silly ED.

WM - 24
VT - 23
And no doubt more this year, as you said.  [b]Not really making the PP’s claim that more TJ grads go to WM than VT.[/b]  [/quote]

Last 5 years looks like this for TJ graduates:  207 to UVA, 132 to W&M, 82 to VT.  Using a single year is subject to greater variability.

But also consider it this way -- VT has 1.8X as many undergraduates as UVA and 4.6X as many as W&M.  Proportionally more should be going to VT, but that hasn't happened.[/quote]
