<p>While President Casteen is at the top of [the</a> Wise org chart](<a href=“http://www.wise.virginia.edu/chancellor/documents/July06OrganizationalChart.pdf]the”>http://www.wise.virginia.edu/chancellor/documents/July06OrganizationalChart.pdf), the rest of their administration is independent of ours. We don’t set their admission policies or practices. I would compare our relationship to the one between William & Mary and Christopher Newport University.</p>
<p>Regardless of the type of school a student attends, if they have solid coursework (similar to that described in the VCCS agreement) and a top GPA, they’ll be competitive in the transfer admission process. To refer back to the original question, VCU and Wise would be viewed similarly in our transfer admission process.</p>
