What colleges are falling out of fashion?

This poster must be in a parallel universe! Applications at quality state universities are up everywhere, including at W&M. Also, with test optional wrecking havoc with admissions, W&M is becoming a more popular ED choice in the DMV. As for career outcomes, they have to be considered relative to the majors offered. W&M doesn’t have an engineering program, so those high salaries are absent relative to UVA or VTech. If you compare W&M outcomes to other liberal arts colleges, they are equal or better. Yes, W&M is more expensive than some public schools, but the class sizes and teacher attention is similar to a private school. From that perspective, W@M’s $40k is far below a private school’s $80k, especially for those who don’t qualify for financial aid.

Absolute parallel universe. W&M admitted only 16 W-L grads in 2021. 16! Previous years, it was 50 or 60.

Their admissions stats indicate otherwise.

Yes, I was shocked to see their REA at 10%?

Most SLAC have bad location.

I don't think you understand the purpose of LACs.

It’s not universal. My kid is at Oberlin, and they overenrolled significantly this year. Largest class ever. It’s causing problems with housing and dining.

Blame Test Optional

Plus, too many applicants, period.

You’re looking at admits. How many applied? W&M is getting more selective and broadening its admission mandate.

most private ($$$$) schools. With the IT companies around the DMV (Amazon) making degrees less than necessary.... no one wants to pay the big price tag for a bachelors.

Why do you say UT - great school…popular with those who value academics and balanced experience!

Do you ever read the news? I would not pay one dollar to have my child live or learn in that state.
