"This ranking among the top public universities in the nation reflects Virginia Tech's commitment to provide all students with access to a dynamic, diverse, and engaged Hokie experience," said Rachel Holloway, vice provost for undergraduate academic affairs. "We will continue to be guided by this commitment to serve and ensure students have the support and guidance needed to be successful in their academic and career pursuits."
For context, Virginia Tech was ranked #73 ten years ago. This is one of the biggest 10-year jumps of any university. We're now ranked higher than William and Mary.
Few reasons for this:
(1) Changes in the application process to make it easier to apply to VT (more applicants --> lower acceptance %)
(2) Changes in USNWR methodology that aligns with VT's academic strengths
(3) A flood of research / financial aid donations over the past decade
(4) Sands' leadership on the academic side of the university. Deserves a statue for what's he's done.
This is unreal. You want to talk about Beamer's legacy? This is a part of it. VT Football being the front porch of the university put a spotlight on the academic side and helped elevate its status.
