[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both schools are more competitive than they were when the parents of today's HS students were applying. Hence a lot of the dated impressions in this thread, I think.[/quote] PP - yes but VT has certainly moved into a different status re: reputation and competitiveness for entry. I'm asking why has VT pulled so far away from its former peers, esp JMU. [/quote] The answer: Engineering became more important, and then Computer Science degrees TOOK OVER THE WORLD. Literally. 15-20 yrs ago, most of the top students were pursuing engineering, medicine and maybe law. Now, if you look at TJ seniors, almost all are going for computer science. Since VT has bigger offerings in computer science...it's star has risen. Liberal Arts and Science Schools are suffering and those that offer more computer science, IT degrees will survive.[/quote]
