1. VT is not a safety.
2. VT does not yield-protect and says as much right on their website.

OP here.
I’ve heard that if you have over a 1500 SAT to watch out with VT.  That’s really sad because it’s a top choice for my son. He submitted his app early (yesterday) plus we toured in Jan. Hopefully that signals to VT, that he is interested.[/quote]

SAT scores don’t matter as much as GPA and the VT essays. VT does not yield protect. [/quote]

According to our Navience data they clearly do, or at least overly use waitlist for high stats kids.  Better chance of getting in with a 4.1/1460 than a 4.4/1560.  We had 20+ waitlisted kids with over a 4.1 and over a 1500, including 4.6/1570, 4.6/1580, 4.5/1590.  Also two outright rejections at 4.3/1550.  Kind of crazy for a school with an [b]average SAT of 1260.[/b]  [/quote]

DP.  Where are you getting the bolded?  This is false. Here are the actual stats:

That's helpful.  So it is around 1330.  PrepScholar has it at 1285 and someone else had it at 1260 but I can't find it now.  [/quote]

And of course, the 75% SAT is 1420 - meaning 25% have SATs higher than that.  [/quote]
