<p>I can only comment on VT. here are the stats for the entering class of 2011 for the Pamplin School</p>
<p>[Institutional</a> Research - Students: Admissions](<a href=“http://www.ir.vt.edu/VT_Stats/admissions_contents.htm]Institutional”>http://www.ir.vt.edu/VT_Stats/admissions_contents.htm)</p>
<p>I think you seem to be a reasonable match. The bad news is that VT doesn’t offer a ton of merit aid but the good news is that the out of state tuition is way lower than BC.</p>
<p>Thanks so much, Virginia Tech is one of my top choices so that is good to hear</p>
<p>It’s also tougher for an in-state kid to get into BC. Just about every Catholic kid inside Rt 495 thinks it’s their birthright to attend BC.</p>
<p>You’d have a better shot at BC if you came from outside NE.</p>
<p>Thanks, yeah that is what I have heard so BC is a reach for me</p>
<p>If you have any questions about VT - head over to the VT board. usually there are helpful people there. We are from Mass and my daughter attends VT.</p>
