[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Only one friend got in who had lower scores but first time college family.  [/quote]
 :roll:  :roll: I'm sure that's the only reason that friend was accepted.[/quote]

Increasing first gen students at the school is an institutional priority for VT, so it very well could have tipped the balance here.

Absolutely. They have a stated goal of 40% URM and first generation.[/quote]

+1. The President has said this several times. Google it[/quote]

The same people keep repeating this, ad nauseum.  We know.  However, you're forgetting about the other 60+% of students who are accepted.  Stop making excuses.  [/quote]

No excuses. This is a fact. The president of them only polytechnic university in the state wants 40 percent URM and first generation. The population of the state is not 40 percent URM. That is called social engineering. Many question if that is the proper role of the only public polytechnic. Read Chrinicke if Higher Education before casting aspirations. This is called a newsworthy issue so open to decays. Stop shutting down those who actually know what is going on.[/quote]
The population of VT will never be anywhere near 40% URM. People are fixated on the URM portion of the goal and use that to misconstrue what is actually happening. BTW, what percent of the state is first generation? My guess is that it's higher than URM.[/quote]

these dumbasses will never realize that first gen is a whole lot of white kids. [/quote]
