Davidson has a low admit rate because it is a great school that is small. Don't need many applications when you aren't taking many students.

Some here don't like public schools. So be it.

This doesn't list W&M's awful 20% yield rate, which means its a back up state school for UVA kids. The actual incoming students are the lower end of the pack who couldn't get into anywhere better.

It's so funny imagining you just sitting at the computer foaming at the mouth right now. We get it, the only way you can feel good about yourself is to put other stuff down. Maybe if your marriage was better, your kids liked you, you had a good social life you wouldn't feel the need to compensate!

"Foaming at the mouth." I'm glad you have creativity backing you, because the lying is very unnecessary. W&M factually has a very low yield; you can lie about it or not, but I'm just pointing out things that people should be taking notes on. Students clearly disagree that it's a number 1 destination.

This won't make your husband more interested in you!

Not sure the connection, so I'm going to have to assume it was a freudian slip.

The women who get on here and spread lies and hatred almost always have issues at home. You'll get through it ❤️

You seem very troubled. It is concerning that you are assuming, and kind of wishing for, someone else to have a bad household. Disgusting behavior even if I agree with your early points. People here need to learn to be respectful.

I have no respect for people that come on here and perpetuate lies and stereotypes. People don't just do that for no reason, it's pretty reasonable to assume there's probably some issues in their home life or that they're compensating for something else.

What's Davidson's?

Why is Davidson on a "W&M vs Richmond" thread?

A W&M defender brought it up and is subsequently caving to publish the yield rate for whatever reason, so everyone can move on. Gish galloping essentially.

No Susan, stereotyping colleges on an online COLLEGE forum doesn't mean someone is being abused behind closed doors. You should find some time away from the keyboard.

Whew! Finally found a real statistic that makes them win. 48% admit rate for Davidson, YAY! Now we can get back to our regularly scheduled programming.

A W&M "defender" injected Davidson into the conversation? Really?

Back to the actual discussion, DC is at Richmond, and I do think it's liberal arts college roots make it shine! Currently, her department gives $2000 per student for any conference fees they want. She got research freshman year, because a professor who liked her came to her-she didn't have to advocate. She went on a trip to Belgium on the college's dime to present her research and to network with faculty members at another university, and she was handed an internship by an alum for meeting with him to discuss his work. It's a small place with a very tight alum group that looks out for its own.

When 27% of your students are athletes it's easy to skew the yield rate.

So excuses....

Sorry you can't handle objective reality.

You mean yourself, because you refuse to just put the number down and admit the rate is higher, then brought an outside excuse when you realized you were wrong. Cognitive Dissonance is a mental health issue. You should find treatment.

Where am I refusing to admit the yield rate is higher. You just refuse to look at WHY it's higher. 338 of the 525 incoming students in the class of 2027 were accepted ED. So that's 65% of the incoming class. W&M on the other hand takes just under 40% of their class ED.

It's actually almost sad their yield isn't higher when the majority of their incoming students are required to go there.

They brought it in first. The forum is public if you want to create new narratives.

Nobody brought up abuse? "make your husband more interested in you" just implies the relationship is flaming out. Which isn't unreasonable to say because most people wouldn't want to be married to someone so angry and bitter.

Davidson's yield is slightly higher than Williams and Amherst. Does that make Davidson better than Williams and Amherst?

Who is "they"? It is unlikely to be a W&M or Richmond person.

I can't imagine that this could happen at W&M. Those are really excellent opportunities for your kid!

DP, but it should be acknowledged. They clearly attract students who want Davidson as a first choice. Same with Williams and Amherst.

It was someone who suggested consideration of Wake or Davidson as well. Then someone quickly claimed that Davidson is a tier above W&M. That is what precipitated it.
