Youngest daughter is 3-3 in early action college acceptances. Just waiting
vt90 • 01/24/24 08:12 AM ET
Son is 3-3 and got into Texas A&M, Purdue and Colorado, still waiting on VT**
LRC-Hokie01 • 01/24/24 02:35 PM ET
A couple of questions…..

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.
Vtskier1 • 01/24/24 03:15 PM ET
I’m going to be dealing with this for next couple of years….

If I didn't have such a long family history with VT I would likely have ...

Yeah….

One day white males in America will catch a break!**
AbsolutVT03 • 01/24/24 05:59 PM ET
I’m gathering that you don’t believe the plaintiffs in the SCOTUS case**
CrystalCoveHokie • 01/24/24 06:19 PM ET
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 ...

We're looking at the same for my youngest daughter. She's been...

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
North Main Hokie • 01/24/24 10:55 AM ET
It prevents school squatting
MEHOKIE • 01/24/24 11:47 AM ET
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
vt90 • 01/24/24 11:04 AM ET
VT screwed this up from the very beginning ...

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.

Similar major as my younger daughter
statmanfromHCyrs • 01/24/24 09:10 AM ET
My son switched after getting rejected Early decision. Got in early action,
RhinoVT • 01/24/24 08:57 AM ET
My niece decided to attend NVCC for 2 years & she transferred to VCU last
PWR2LZ • 01/24/24 08:41 AM ET
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.**
No Clue • 01/24/24 08:34 AM ET
Going through the same
