[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think ED at VA Tech would be a possibility. Scholarships would be off table. [/quote]

Depends on the college/major within VA Tech.  Likely NOT possible for engineering or even business.  [b]Majors within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences can be considerably less competitive.[/b]  [/quote]

[b]Not so much anymore.[/b]

Look for yourself -- you can pick different colleges/majors (and control for variables) in the following interactive website and see just how HUGE the difference in acceptance rates can be.

I have looked.  The majors my kid is interested in (all humanities) do not have high acceptance rates.  VT is the first choice school for our DC, so it will be a nail biter for sure.

We’ll be right there with you!  So nervous.

JMU, GMU, VCU - - are these not options? UMW, Longwood and CNU all are more liberal artsy, too.[/quote]

Yes, those are all great options!  JMU, especially.  But VT is our DC’s top choice.  They also have great humanities offerings.[/quote]
