[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I despise VT for making kids choose majors and accepting kids based on those choices. A lot of kids change their majors, some several times. It’s ridiculous to deny high achieving kids because for a hot second they wanted to major in engineering but if given the choice to be admitted under a generalized major they might have chosen that. VT was my daughter’s first choice and she would have never applied engineering had she known they were going to deny her. She had a 4.5 gpa! Yet her first Gen boyfriend got in with a 3.7! Grrrr[/quote]

They are making a concerted effort to increase the number of URM students. If you are Caucasian applying for a popular major, you’ll have a high hurdle.[/quote]

Know several kids that are URMs that were waitlisted along with Caucasian kids from our FCPS HS - all good students.  However, they all applied for competitive majors.  Odds are good they will get pulled from the waitlist.   The OOS applicant pool is what impacts VT more as they admit a high number of OOS and want to see what the yield is.[/quote]
