Why is that surprising? (I don't know anything about W&L)

Why did you only include VA colleges?

Because those are the schools Potomac kids are probably in-state for.

W&L is a T20 LAC that's in VA. Unless that number was like 1 or 2 historically, not too surprised.

Parents could have enrolled their kids at Langley or McLean with the same or better results. This is also for 4 years.

Richmond is just a few ranking spots away and almost none going to Richmond, though.

Doesn't that just make it more significant and reliable...?

A lot of Potomac parents didn't go to great colleges but they still became rich. YMMV.
