[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised by some of the Tech results. I know a few kids that have gotten in w/o being top students or having any significant/special ECs. I keep hearing that Tech is the new UVA? (And I have no dog in this fight. My kid isn't in the mix this year and will not be applying when they are. )

But they kids are all super happy (as it was their first choice, all) and I'm excited for them. I'm sure they'll do great things. [/quote]

Yes, VT is the top choice for many students, whether for STEM or humanities.  It’s just a great school that has a ton to offer.  I [b]hope they return to using ED after this year so that all those kids can express that it’s their first choice[/b]. [/quote]
Does that make a difference? Posters last night said VT doesn't yield protect. [/quote]

They don't have a published policy of yield protection but there's plenty of anecdotal evidence here on DCUM about high stats kids (who have absolutely no reason to f'up their essays, have strong ECs, high GPA/SAT (above VT's 75th percentile) get rejected, especially from TJ. If that's not yield protection, I don't know what is. Some posters call it yield management (vs. yield protection).. potaytoe, potathtoe..[/quote]

Funny that you don't seem to rant about this on the UVA threads.  Plenty of high-stats kids EVERYWHERE are denied these schools.  Get used to it and stop repeating your constant tirade.
