With a 57% acceptance rate, it is shocking she hasn’t gotten in to VT….
CrystalCoveHokie • 01/24/24 11:52 AM ET
I thought she was going to get accepted during the 'Christmas gift' cycle
vt90 • 01/24/24 11:56 AM ET
It is exactly what my oldest son did.... No VT & yes JMU.

I’m going to be dealing with this for next couple of years….

I’m gathering that you don’t believe the plaintiffs in the SCOTUS case**

No just pointing out the absurdity of your statement given that white males
AbsolutVT03 • 01/24/24 08:38 PM ET
Frankly my point isn’t debatable….It’s a stone cold fact….
CrystalCoveHokie • 01/24/24 08:54 PM ET
Thanks and that is good advice for your son ...

I really don't get it. I also have a child waiting on VT decision. It's
goodbadugly • 01/24/24 10:06 AM ET
Our record number of applications disagrees. VT is doing something right.
Stork • 01/24/24 10:22 AM ET
Record # of applicants is the result of joining common app
Vienna_Hokie • 01/24/24 10:47 AM ET
Every school I have toured tells me about their record applications
GreenvilleVT • 01/24/24 12:56 PM ET
Generally true about common app

It prevents school squatting

They also changed the essays at the last minute ...
vt90 • 01/24/24 11:02 AM ET
Other universities aren't seeing that surge.**
Stork • 01/24/24 10:53 AM ET
Those that just joined it are...Auburn had the same thing 3 years ago
Vienna_Hokie • 01/24/24 10:57 AM ET
Yes. The past year has seen a jump everywhere. VT's surge started long
Stork • 01/24/24 10:59 AM ET
That's essentially why a lot of the other issues have been "ignored".
vthokieq • 01/24/24 10:29 AM ET
^^ This - 100% ^^
vt90 • 01/24/24 10:46 AM ET
Not necessarily difficult, but also not something that's quickly rectified.
vthokieq • 01/24/24 11:01 AM ET
It's a mess now for sure. Hopefully enough people complain that they are

Is she after a high demand major?
RTFC • 01/24/24 08:44 AM ET
Nope - we tried to outsmart them with that approach ...
vt90 • 01/24/24 08:54 AM ET
Advertising. Did she apply at VCU? The Brand Center is tops in US**
Stork • 01/24/24 09:41 AM ET
I'll second that about the Brand Center.

your biggest concern is wearing a different college sweatshirt and
bigbadbird • 01/24/24 08:41 AM ET
So Early Action isn't binding to accept, it seems
statmanfromHCyrs • 01/24/24 08:39 AM ET
Picked VT over Harvard and MIT?**
RhinoVT • 01/24/24 08:58 AM ET
You only could apply to 1 school that way
statmanfromHCyrs • 01/24/24 09:06 AM ET
Early Action is non-binding. VT got rid of Early Decision.**
vt90 • 01/24/24 08:51 AM ET
I think most of it has to do with the major. Good luck to her.**
