Virginia colleges grow more selective amid application boom
Virginia state colleges see rising GPAs and SATs as applications climb. Virginia Tech alone received 18 800 applications 400 more than last year and offered admissions to about 12 500 students. Officials warn intensified selectivity may push Virginia students out of state or into two year colleges. UVa reports 15 012 applications up 3.7 percent with top 10 percent representation about 84 percent this fall, compared with 82 percent last year.
