Where’s the VT bashing? VT is a fine school. So are other second tier VA in states.
VT is not second tier
When you yield protect in state qualified applicants then you are second tier and have a second tier mentality. Frankly more like third tier.
So bitter.
Not bitter - kids have not applied yet. Just observing the patterns and that the other local schools are more fair and transparent - Virginia, Maryland, George Mason, VCU etc.. Hope DC is not interested in VT so we can skip the VT admissions games.
VT is the most transparent school we looked at when it comes to admission stats. I can’t think of another school that publishes detailed data about every major they offer and the corresponding stats. We found that extremely useful.
No VT is not the most transparent. All VA schools, public and private, provide exhaustive data to SCHEV , which publishes detailed results every late fall. It’s an extraordinary amount of information. No other state does this. Every parent looking at VA schools should be familiar with it
I’m not talking about SCHEV. VT has its own site (linked on these threads many times) which allows users to input college, major, type of student, etc. and see acceptance rates for all. No other VA school provides such granular information.
NP. I agree with the Tech disclosure of acceptance nformation, but the bigger question seems WHY/HOW do they accept the kids they do? It just seems so arbitrary. This year my son from FCPS was a direct admit to UMD CS with merit applying EA and W&M Monroe Scholar applying RD. Differed UVA. 12 applications and not one ED. CS major did NOT bother applying to state's premier tech school because admission is so unpredictable. Admission appears to be run like a private rather than a state supported institution. Other VA schools, if you hit certain benchmarks, you can reasonably predict the result. Not Tech.
Again, admissions is not just stats.
PP, again, Tech's process just appears so unique and arbitrary. Reliance on ED (which comprise probably less a dozen public institutions in the entire country) and higher OOS acceptance rate (again highly unusual for a public institution).
I think it’s funny that the Virginia posters complaining about VT often comment on their admission to MD from oos. Clearly MD also takes a lot of oos students.

Accepted students are not the same as enrolled students. Go walk around grounds and let us know if it's really 52% students of color.A year ago (March 20, 2022) the University announced that 52% students of color. The preceding year, 42% of the class thst t accepted were people

Because UVA is not diverse and for those who value diversity why would you choose UVA or W&M.?

See, this is why no one takes you seriously. There are plenty of reasons one might choose to go to any of the bolded schools over UVA or W&M, the biggest of which is preference. Some people are utterly repelled by both UVA and W&M, for different reasons. But you know that.

If he didn’t bother applying to VT, then I don’t know what to tell you. I guess you’ll never know if he would have been accepted or not.
