All of the stats put Virginia Tech’s acceptance rates around 57 percent. But my son’s acceptance letter says there were more than 57,600 applications for 7,085 seats in the first-year class. That puts it more like 12 percent. Obviously, these numbers are wildly off. Does anyone have any insights to share on why this is the case?
