$1000/year is a significant savings? Tuition is $23,000.

Didn’t VA Tech hire some fancy consulting firm to help inform their admissions strategy and yield this year?

Perhaps that company is paying for this program.

Their acceptance rate will be below 55% next year, guaranteed.

$1000? Pathetic

How about firing their admissions director. They are either absolutely overfilled or underfilled ever year.

I went to an SLAC and the class that was coming in right after I graduated was so big they had to slap together a whole new dorm over the summer.

What happens if they don’t get many takers?


Dang. I would definitely take that community college tuition credit deal. You could practically go to school for free.

Wow. Has any school ever done that?

I'm surprised that they're not offering a semester of online classes at a significant discount.
