This is really helpful, thank you. Its W&M that we're also looking hard at. I'm not so sure about UVA anymore. I remember visiting it as a younger teen (this is the OP by the way) and it looked amazing but I do remember even then it was frat boy heavy. I don't think that will suit either of our kids.

If you are looking at UVA, you may as well look at private schools too. Same price.

Not looking at UVA.

When a thread is called "UMD what's right about it and what is wrong about it" its not unreasonable to expect that to be the main discussion, except of course on DCUM were all manner of complete nut jobs wax at length about their pet subjects on any thread they find themselves reading.
