No, not at all. BU is a city school with no campus.

BC would be W&M's northern peer imo

I agree with this

I know some living students who didn't get in. this is such a weird statement.

The school district’s scoir data that shows higher gpa and higher SATs get into WM, for all schools in the county(in state VA)

Why would I take your spurious word over…publically available data that shows the average admit has slightly lower scores at W&M than Richmond.

Publicly available data shows only 36% of students submit SAT or ACT at Richmond vs 62% at William and Mary. A significantly higher percentage of William and Mary students are in the top 10% of the class.

yeah but those are more likely to be public schools….

LACs are only boring in the US lol. As an international family, having small, well manicured campuses with teaching focus faculty sounds awesome

Agree. I don’t get it. To each his or her own.

That has nothing to do with the lower percentage submitting SAT or ACT at Richmond vs William and Mary. It just means the SAT/ACT scores form Richmond are representative of a smaller section of the class than at William and Mary. In the test-optional era, you always should look at the percentage submitting.
