[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It comes down to mathematics... which is why the rankings that depend on admission rates are stupid.

# of freshman

UVA - 4,000
JMU - 4,500
VaTech - 7,500

[b]This is your answer. Now look at how many applicants to each. [/b]

And PP is right - that’s why USNews stopped using admit rate in their rankings two years ago. [/quote]

Actually for a school that’s as large as Tech to have a class with a Freshman profile as high as Tech’s is rather unusual and speaks  favorably on the school. They have a lot of spaces to fill yet they get enough applicants to have an average unweighted GPA of 3.9. [/quote]

It kinda speaks to how hard it is to get into UVA which is tiny for a state so large... really your only two choices with a 3.9 is jmu or va tech. Va tech sounds better and they have D1 sports.[/quote]

In-state, though, UVA's acceptance rate has historically been in the 40%+ range.  Recently has dipped lower.  UVA gets far more applicants from OOS than in state.[/quote]
