Yes, OP should definitely not do that since both of these college’s decisions come in at the end of January (usually within a few days of each other).
Virginia Tech has gotten very popular with OOS students and therefore much harder to get into since my daughter has been there. I would put it in the reach category for an OOS student with these stats. If the money works, they can try JMU or George Mason. Other mid-large state U’s that, 4-5 years ago, were safeties for a lot of people, are now low-mid reaches due to increased popularity- UofSC, UTK, College of Charleston come to mind. If the money works and they want a mid-large state U in the South, they could also try Coastal Carolina, FAU, University of Kentucky & UCF.
