Richmond grads get richer than W&M grads. |

| The problem with another school like W&M you need a SLAC and those are private. Not to say you couldn’t have a good college experience elsewhere. Just not a W&M. Also W&M has become a target school for NJ and NY which makes it more selective. But information from 20-30 years ago not very helpful in any case. |

If that's true...maybe because being from families who are richer in the first place (hence paying private school) they have connections to continue that path. Also, important to look 10 yrs out bc many W&M students are on a grad school path. |

| I have posted this upthread but I wonder if it got lost in the responses - College of Charleston, honors college, seems a great safety for W&M. It is also a public college with a slac feel, also a lovely campus in a historic setting, and is much easier to get into than W&M. |

It’s been one of NY’s and NJ’s de facto other state schools or decades now. |

| Richard Bland? |

An interesting point. You can go to Richard Bland and have a path to William & Mary or you can also attend one of the Virginia Community Colleges and you have a path to get admitted to William & Mary if you maintain a certain GPA. |

Also, how often do you have to tell someone where you didn’t get in beyond senior year of high school?! Where did you go to school? UMW. Oh, did you get rejected from W&M? Yes. Well this is the first I’ve heard someone do that. Hmm ok. |

Don’t know why your Navisnce says that (is your high school sending athletes to UVA?) but SCHEV reports a 4.48 entering 75th percentile for UvA and 4.46 for W&M. I know a number of applicants, including legacies, who did not get k to UVA so went to W&M |

| Does UVA or W&M report its unweighted GPA? Wondering what these weighted GPAs mean. |
