[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again- talking to other VA friends afterwards, it seems like getting into UVA from NoVA is incredibly difficult.

If you are okay with VT as an IS option if UVA or WM don’t pan out, the move might be worth it. No shade to VT- my son who likes engineering is considering it.[/quote]

VT is more difficult to get into for some majors (like engineering) than UVA.

I feel like every year I see really outstanding students rejected from VT, and then others get in to VT that are not nearly as good.  [/quote]

That's not true. Average GPA and SATs for UVA engineering are much higher than VT.[/quote]
The average is for all students.  PP was talking about STEM majors specifically.[/quote]

Yes, Engeineering at UVA has much higher stats than the college. It is much much harder to get into than VT for engieering.[/quote]

Post your citations, please.[/quote]

You go VT for engineering and UVA for school. [/quote]

Most people who can't get into UVA for Engineering go to VT. VT is best known as an ag school.[/quote]

Have you been beamed up from 1980?  The trolling is really over the top.[/quote]

+100
I actually laughed at the PP's post.[/quote]
