[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]hmmmm... SCHEV report over the past 5 years shows that WM applied/accepted/enrolled has stayed incredibly stable.  Minor variations within years.  And currently, there is a downward trend in college applications. Let’s say that again— we are in a demographic downward trend in college applications, while WM stays stable.

The lower boys enrollment thing has always been there.  It’s more like a LAC than the other state schools, and almost all LACs are 60+% male.

It’s also just expensive for a state school, which discourages applicants who can pay less and attend UVA and VT.  For many kids, the WM upcharge isn’t worth it. But that’s not new either.

Most recent year had 75% SATs of 1510 and GPA of 4.46.

They have a 95% first year return rate and a 93% graduation rate.

In short, there is nothing wrong with WM.  It’s been around found hundreds of years. It will still be here in 2030. And probably 2130.

I’m not sure whether you are a troll trying to thin out the competition before RD apps are due, or if you are one of those people who think that UVA is the only public VA college worth attending. Either way, WM is great for kids that want a smaller school and smaller classes— and can pay the extra $$ to get it. My kid already has their RD app in.  By all means, don’t have your kid apply— less competition for the rest of us. [/quote]

75th percentile was 1510 SAT. The above reads like 75% scored 1510.[/quote]
