[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s because many people feel threatened by VT’s climb in popularity and selectivity. They have a hard time accepting that some kids prefer it to UVA and many STEM kids see it as the better instate choice. I say this as a UVA grad myself and I see VT as the school I’d want my engineering child to attend. [/quote]

Nope. Not threatened. Mine are at ivy/T10. VT really does yield only the barely above average from the top privates in our area. I am judging it by the pre-TO and current SAT and gpa and lower math path kids they accept compared to UVA, for stem and non-stem. They simply do not have the peer set we wanted for our kids, even as a backup, not even close. Then there are the above avg kids who end up there from our school (WL at Uva and WM) and say it is EASY. In Engineering. That fact makes it not a good fit for many students who come from intense stem high schools. Glad to see the TJ parents on here agree. TJ is not in our area.  [/quote]

DP.  Nope, this person isn't threatened at ALL ^^.  You have posted this nonsense before and it's so obvious what your real intent is.  [b]I'm glad that even after being rejected from VT,[/b] your kids were able to find their "peer set."   :lol: [/quote]

Don't do that.  That's the kind of response that has set DCUM against other schools.[/quote]
