[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] I suspect the increased focus on STEM majors and yield protection have been important factors. And to the PP with the DD in the top 5-6 of their class who was wait listed, VT admissions made the right call. Your DD was unlikely to attend VT and would have negatively impacted yield. [/quote] It used to be STEM, now it's all about computer science degrees. When's the last time you heard of a HS senior wanting to major in civil engineering? Or mechanical engineering? Or industrial engineering? It's all computers.[/quote]
