Let us pick for you…list acceptances

25% is pretty heavy Greek
Once you consider: part time or students gone for study abroad, seniors focused on graduating and leaving, freshmen new and not assimilated ... all of this equals a much smaller cohort of likely students available. 25% Greek is too high if you don't want Greek.

DD is seeking social environment/sports, but not at all focused on Greek scene. Major undecided but likely something in liberal arts/humanities.

Notre Dame or BC depending on how Catholic she wants the campus vibe to be.

Vandy and UVA are heavily Greek, and W&M sucks for sports.

Vanderbilt has Greeks, but I wouldn’t say it’s “heavily” (it’s less than 1/4 I think) and the admin has been taking subtle and not so subtle steps to marginalize them. Established residential colleges etc.

You Vandy geed parents are really trying to talk yourselves into the idea that frat gods don't control the social scene or that some cheesy, wannabe Hogwarts house system can marginalize Greek life on campus. I'm sure your kids have fun at their dorm pizza and movie nights, but the Greeks are still the BMOCs at Vandy. Yes, the frat culture is much different there than at Alabama or Ole Miss, but that doesn't mean it's less prominent.

You have tiny clusters here. Catholic oriented = Notre Dame, BC. Greek similar = Vanderbilt, UVA. Virginia in-state = UVA, W&M.

Uh, UVa is 26-percent Greek, while, for comparison, MIT is 38-percent Greek. Also, UVa = a paradise for humanities kids; W&M equally strong. But go with Notre Dame obviously if humanities to your kid partly means Catholic teachings in philosophy, religion, literature, etc.

MIT wasn't on the OP's list, geed. BC and Notre Dame, the two schools PP recommended, are 0% Greek.

GT over UF if Aerospace. For CS, Santa Clara is right in the middle of Silicon Valley so if that is your goal, that is where it places.

This thread lasted for 55 pages before the trolls wrecked it. Must be a record in these troll-saturated times. Well done, people who posted without insults!

Aside from the needless insult, the PP made a valid point.

Agree with this poster. Not sure if UVA is instate and if any monetary considerations.

In-state uva?

My son similar:
UVA
Georgetown
BC
W&M
Pomona

In-state tuition is looking really good latent as a full pay family …
