Why is William & Mary's acceptance rate relatively high for what their stats are?

Is VA tech a mix of all 4?

2. William and Mary is a very expensive school in-state. Not being able to afford COA drives down both applications and yield.

What about Hufflepuff? JMU?

No. Slytherin is all about special skills, like engineering, so Slytherin is at VT.

Why does everyone keep saying W&M didn’t have business? I know for a fact it has had it since at least the early 70’s. Great accounting dept with many managing partners amongst its alums.

Because people love to blather about things they know nothing about.

Yes! I have a liberal arts student at VT. Definitely a Ravenclaw.

It has 38k students, more than UVA and W&M combined. So yeah, I would assume it has all types of personalities, as does W&M and UVA.

Undergrad is 31K. But yes, there are all kinds of people at VT, something for everyone.

32% is not high, it's sad all state schools aren't a minimum 60% even uva

Undergrad population:
WM is 38% of UVA
WM is 22% of VT
UVA is 58% of VT

VT is just massive.

William and Mary is like a SLAC. A lot of kids don't want that anymore. They want a city school or a big D1 school with football.

What William and Mary does have going for it is the cost of attendance for Virgina residents.

I don't really get the slac comparison. It's got 7k undergrads, D1 athletics, and a number of different undergraduate schools. The people who compare it to a slac are the boosters who think only slacs can have good academics

I think the enormous school trend is going to ebb and flow. I wouldn’t assume this will keep up say in 5 years. The small/medium size schools are going to make a comeback.
