[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virginia tech admitted 70% of applicants last year. That is a lot. Tech is not turning many applicants away. George Mason took 55%. Penn State 52%. [/quote] True, but the applicants had better credentials than the GMU applicants. GMU is still considered a safety school for lots of so so NoVa students, so it gets a ton of applications.[/quote] With a 70% acceptance rate, Va Tech is a much better pick as a safety school. I think GMU is more popular than Tech because it is closer. Lots of kids, particularly immigrants, don't want to incur the extra travel expenses to Blacksburg.[/quote] I think that many people will tell you from experience that Virginia Tech is -not- a safety school for a lot of NOVA kids. Maybe when I attended, but certainly not anymore. It's a different animal nowadays and a lot of the older common perceptions about VA state schools are no longer accurate.[/quote]
