[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has a 3.0 and was looking for a D1 school.

We did a tour.

The campus was lovely. The lake in the center was so pretty. The buildings look like a movie set. Athletic facilities were great. Dorms are realistic. When we went for our tour there was a parking spot with my kid's name on it welcoming him (not from the coach).

It looks like College of Charleston (public: SC).

In the end, we decided D1 was not accessible and we knew that they were looking for kids with a 3.8. If mine could have squeaked in, they were not a candidate for Merit and it would have been too expensive (more than 1 college student in the house).

I'd choose VT over U-Richmond in part because we called in "University of New Jersey" growing up, but I do think people could have a wonderful experience there (study abroad, peaceful space, great school spirit, rigors curriculum, good about taking AP credits) but it wasn't a right fit for either of my kids.

Your kid may walk the campus and say, "This is it," and I have found that some expensive schools are the most generous with merit. [/quote]

VT accepts well over half its applicants - not comparable[/quote]
 
[b]Do you have a cite for this?[/quote][/b]

Not the PP but it's well known that the acceptance rate is 57%:

"Virginia Tech has an acceptance rate of 57%. Half the applicants admitted to Virginia Tech who submitted test scores have an SAT score between 1220 and 1420 or an ACT score of 26 and 32.
