Oh wow, I don't know. I suggest you write an appeal if you're really really upset about it, because those scores look fine.

Wow, don't be sorry! I'm surprised at the quality of the stats of those rejected/waitlisted. Maybe they had a rise in apps because of the bad economy.

i really want to appeal, but i've never heard of anyone doing anything like that so i don't know how to do it. i'm pretty upset (mostly because my only other option is gmu and living at home-- not too appealing). do you think it would help to appeal? i guess it doesnt hurt to try...
guillaume - interesting point, i actually thought the opposite. i though that the state of the economy would lead more people to attend community colleges because of the difficulty in paying high tuition costs. but yeah, vtech received the highest number of apps in its history.

09, you might want to look up how it's done or call VT about it. I've heard that it's worked in some cases, but not all. Just a thought.

My son is in for engineering. Anybody know when we find out about financial aid? He's OOS for VA Tech and in state for Maryland, so the financial aid package will help make the decision between the two.

I got waitlisted.
Anyone know chances of waitlisted kids being accepted? Should I not get my hopes up?

09, your stats are honors quality for VT. Something does not look right. Look at the honors criteria on the website and then call admissions and ask. You have nothing to loose.

I wouldn't count on the waitlist because you find out if you get off it in JUNE , ulitmatly after May 1, when your college decisionis due.
I got waitlisted too and I read the info they had and apparently no one was taken off the wait list last year. I believe there are 1,500 on the waitlist, and With the increase in applications and interest, chances look pretty grim.

Surprised at VT
S stats for Engineering
3.48/3.77 UW/W
APs 7
SAT M: 720
SAT V:690
SAT W: 620
EC's - sports, 2 time AAA individual State Champ
This is not right. NOVA students and FFX get the shaft because of stringent grading. VT cares nothing about EC's.
Any comments?
