[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deferred from Nova HS 4.1 w, 1450 SAT, lots of ECs, white male, applied to Pamplin
Afraid we are on the deferred/waitlist/deny train.  [/quote]

So Va Tech is harder to get into than William & Mary? I just read the William & Mary ED thread and almost all the accepted stats are around 4.1 or 4.2 weighted with lower SAT. Some 4.0 weighted.[/quote]

For Virginians, VT and W&M are practically peer schools right below UVA.
Some Engineering majors at VT are considered peer to UVA.

Also, many kids just don’t like the vibe at W&M and don’t even apply. For certain students W&M is amazing. None of my DC’s friends applied to W&M. Most applied to UVA and VT. [/quote]

What's the vibe that they don't like?[/quote]

This has been mentioned her many times, and hotly contested by W&M fans. The vibe to my kids was somewhat nerdy, try hards, serious students but quirky and friendly. When we visited everyone looked very stressed and hardly any smiles.

My DS liked it but not as much as UVA so it was second choice. my DD hated it. [/quote]

+2 This is what my 3 kids said too. Plus, the social life is boring. Their words, not mine.[/quote]

But W&M is #9 for happiest students and #5 for students love their college based on Princeton Review student and alumni surveys.[/quote]

Could you please use the W&M thread to talk about it?  This thread is about VT.  Thanks.
