[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was talking about the yield for TJ admits to VT.  I made no comment on VT overall yield.   38 TJ grads enrolled at VT last year.  This year self-report was 18 (with 25% not reporting), so it looks like yield likely went down.[/quote]
Do TJ student who enroll at VT do so for financial reasons or because of lack of other options, or are there significant other factors in play?

The quality of the program certainly hasn't improved (for instance, this year, TJ [url=http://usaco.org/index.php?page=finalists19]didn't have a single USACO finalist[/url] or [url=https://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/pdf/usamo/2019%20USAMO%20Winners.pdf]USAMO winner[/url]).

Conversely, what explains the increased acceptance at out-of-state schools?  Is it a combination of parent prosperity and [url=https://hechingerreport.org/college-students-predicted-to-fall-by-more-than-15-after-the-year-2025/]declining birth rates[/url], perhaps combined with outsized tuition increases at in-state schools?[/quote]

VT is the 13th ranked school in engineering. And also all TJ kids are there for engineering.  The kids I know who went had other options— but not other options worth multiples of the cost to get the 9th ranked engineering program instead of the 13th. [/quote]

So if the self-reporting is accurate, it is interesting why VT is way down this year.  Self reported was only 16 (not 18) with 25% not reported vs 38 last year and 42 the year before.  [/quote]
