Sure, if that was a thing that exists. You don’t need to defend W&M just as I don’t need to care.

It is a very good school but I’m just gonna keep poking at the “Wow” comment. That kinda sets a higher standard than one of 8 public Ivy’s.

Again, 38% acceptance rate is on par with several schools. While selective it is not elite in either it’s desirability or in its acceptance rate.

Well…I went to NOVA so it’s a wow for me.

Show me the lie.

You would take William and Mary over UNC, Duke and UVA?

The pessimist in me says each of those schools has less of a chance than Florida State, which is absolutely stacked.

I meant UNC, Duke and UVA for academics while still playing in ACC over playing for and attending William and Mary.

What percent is going to UVA or Duke to play? Let’s be for real.

And yes, I would take W&M degree over UNC.

What percent is going to W&M? Don’t act like that’s an easy thing to do. I wonder what percentage of DCUM Parents actually played college sports.

It’s easier to get on w&M team then Duke or UVA. That’s the point

And I’d take a Wake Forest, Duke or UVA degree over W&M as well as a VA Tech or GA Tech Engineering degree over W&M. So what was your point again?

VA Tech...pffft!

How to prove your dumb by not saying you're dumb. Tech degrees in engineering are valuable in my profession. Stay in your lane.

Every kid on W&M’s campus has the grades and test scores to get into VT’s Eng program. The reverse isn’t close to true. Sorry, Hokie.

This isn't remotely true. And even if it was, most of them couldn't make it through the engineering program at VT, which is the point you missed from my post. A Tech engineering degree is incredibly valuable and definitely worth more than a generic W&M degree out of college.

You show you ass when you make generalizations, especially about industries you don't know. And I'm not even a Hokie. I work with several and they're in-demand and make really good money upon graduation.

Yeah, it’s true. GPA & SAT for entering Freshmen at W&M > VT Engineering, by a healthy margin. I didn’t go to either school, but it is what it is. VT - overall - has an acceptance rate of 70%. That’s not even remotely selective, especially in comparison to schools that are being mentioned here as peer institutions - e.g. Georgia Tech (21%).

Soccer is a means to obtain a degree at a cheaper cost. If your kid is smart, they will redshirt their freshman year and use the extra year of eligibility to remain on scholarship while getting masters.

You heard it here first. 😂

Yeah, Tech is fine as a “big, state U” type of school, but not on par with W&M, and the other schools mentioned earlier (Duke, UNC, UVA, Wake).

People need to get out of the state more.

W&M is nice and all but I wouldn’t go there if I lived outside of Virginia. It is a nice school like many others but nothing special.

It’s not Ivy, but it’s consistently a top ~10 public and top 30-40 school in the country.

Which is nice but not “wow”. And coincidentally UNC and UVA are both ranked higher.

And UVA is essentially borderline IVY.

UVA, UNC, and W&M are not borderline Ivy.

Exactly. Harvard’s endowments are roughly $40 Billion dollars. To put that in perspective of how much money that is the budget for the State of Virginia is $67 Billion dollars. Yale’s endowments are $30 Billion dollars.

The point is, not only is a Ivy education terrific but the social network one can leave a Ivy with is unparalleled in regards to future and current industry leaders.

Sure, Harvard and Yale are in a different league. But UVA is absolutely competitive with the lower ivies. UVA’s endowment is $7B which is the same as Cornell and considerably higher than Brown and Dartmouth. When people think of Ivies they are really thinking Yale and Harvard and Princeton which are the top for sure but UVA is right there with the others in just about any category.

So we moved the goal posts from W&M to UVA. Good because that shows were W&M really falls in line in the pecking order, which is still very good but nowhere near “wow”.

Well, both W&M and UVA are on the list of 8 original “public ivies” when that term was invented in 1985. Whatever that is worth. All these rankings are rather silly though. There are basically 3 tiers: top 20, top 100, and everything else. Trying to rank within tiers is splitting hairs and really depends more on particular major or sport.

Any ECNL doesn't have it's bottom dwellers too (I'm looking at you BRYC)?

[Anonymous]

It’s actually nice playing an ECNL bottom dweller within 30mins from your house as opposed to in NJ if team played in GAL. Can play BRYC and still have a family dinner at our house.
