People-- You need to think about the trickle down effect. Last year when VT overenrolled other Virginia schools pulled off their waitlists more than usual. So VT may not be taking students directly from a school like Radford, but when VT takes more in-state students, JMU (or whoever) pulls off its waitlist, which then trickles down and eventually does affect admissions to Radford. It’s a zero sum game with in-state students, so one university taking more than usual will absolutely affect other schools, especially the ones that are a very high percentage of in-state students.
