1. VA Tech's scattergram is all the heck over the place. They are really squirrley for TJ kids and even w/ high stats they are a crap shoot - they don't seem to like TJ kids much. [/quote]

VT Engineering is a tough admit. VT Agriculture or other is a visibly easier admit. This contributes to the wide spread on the VT scattergram.

Agree but I don’t think it’s just that. How many kids do you think from TJ are going to VT to study ag? Whatever VT is looking for seems much less stats driven than the other schools. [/quote]

I was very surprised to learn many TJ students are really targeting medical or dental school -- instead of targeting a career in engineering.  I am told that the TJ students applying to non-Engineering parts of VT (e.g., some pre-med major) have a much easier time with acceptances. [/quote]

If you are surprised, you do not know many Asian parents then.  Med school track is why so many TJ kids go to Pitt.  No one goes there for engineering.[/quote]

This is correct:

Pitt — > Pre Med for TJ kids.

VCU is also a target school for pre-med[/quote]
