<p>I do realize that some students with very specific career goals cannot find numbers-based guaranteed admission anywhere. However, general intro. engineering coursework can be covered at just about any public U or community college in the country, so this particular student does have numbers-based options open to him. He just might not like any of them.</p>

<p>My bad about U VA vs VT. But VT is still OOS for this family, so the money questions would apply.</p>
