[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot easier to get into Penn State from NOVA than VA Tech.[/quote] Unlikely. VA Tech accepted a whopping 70.4% of all applicants. That is hardly elite or even selective. Penn State accepted just 54.2% of applicants. Even adjusting generously for any regional disadvantage, Tech is easier. High schools in NOVA send large numbers of every class to Tech so there are lots of kids are getting in. http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/virginia-tech-3754 http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/pennsylvania-state-university-university-park-6965 [/quote] You are confusing the size of the applicant pool with the quality of the program. Sure it means something for the very top schools. But in this case it just means that VA has two really good state schools and that the biggest sports schools have a wider draw.[/quote]
