Congrats! DD is at VCU and loves it.

My Junior is interested in VCU. She has friends there who are very happy. DD has high stats and will also apply to UVA/VT/W&M, etc. but could see herself at VCU. I think VCU is really growing in popularity. Richmond is a big enough city for kids who like an urban vibe, but small enough that it’s not overwhelming. Close to home but not too close.

Oh, stats (4.1w, 3.7uw), test optional, 9 AP/IB/DE courses.

Decision was 75% financial.

Excellent school!

+100

Also, TN went down from 65% last year to only 35% this year - and I believe the percentage admitted from OOS was extremely restricted due to the school's initiative to admit more from in-state.

Auburn also now below 40 percent and even lower for out of state. Just look on each schools admissions cites. USNWR Niche and others are out of date.

Will be good when Common Data Set breaks out OOS.

Sure you did.

Was your child a STEM major?

My child, humanities, got the exact opposite - into Princeton (REA) and Stanford, rejected Yale.

Leaning Princeton.

No - humanities.

Go Gators!

Curious why DC chose UF - that is an amazing list of schools to pick from!

NP (not the pp whose kid chose UF) but if I had that same list I’d either choose UF or Tulane. Love the vibes at both schools and both are excellent schools! UVA and W&M are great too but I’d want to get farther away from home.

Really? I would never chose the school of 35,000 kids over a smaller school.

Ok. I would

So would my kid. He doesn’t want small.

Same - I think a large school just opens up a lot more choices and opportunities
to explore interests and find people with whom they have things in common with.

There is large and then there is Uber large. Much different experience at school of 18,000 than one of 35,000.

Not really.

Of course there is, online classes much more common at the Uber large schools (Arizona, Florida, Berkeley), also impacted/restricted majors more common.

I'm actually surprised

you got into VA Tech but got rejected from Clemson and Auburn. All good schools.

I’m not. VA tech acceptance rate is around 57% whereas both auburn and Clemson only admit 43-44% of applicants.

Clemson is much lower than that, around 36 percent.

No, it's 43%.

Thus is from the class of 2022. The class of 2023 acceptance rate was indeed 36 percent. This year as well.

Citation?

I'm not the original poster, but it's pretty easy to google. I found this which is from 2023: https://www.clemson.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/admissions-statistics.html.
