<p>I think it has to do with OOS money and higher tuition rates they pay. I think VT is trying to maximize tuition revenue. For example, my daughter who is a current VT sophomore, had stats well below the mid 50% range(3.5 w GPA & 1100 SAT) and no EC’s and still got accepted. I think that VT loves those full-pay OOS kids. It’s all about the money, is my theory. </p>
<p>On the other hand, she got rejected at UNCW because the tuition was so cheap there that other OOS parents were looking for a bargain and competition was tough. I know that I thought it was a bargain. So much so, that it was actually the same price for us OOS for her to attend UNCW as it was in-state for us for her to attend Penn State main campus-(University Park)!</p>
<p>So, for the ED applicants, perhaps VT is waiting to see what revenue they can get from the regular decision applicants?</p>
