[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems to me that it doesn’t really have a bright future as a public school.  In a time of increased popularity for many Virginia public universities, William & Mary seems to be caught in a downward spiral. Its application numbers are stagnant, its female-male ratio is ridiculous, its acceptance rate has increased to almost 40 percent, its yield rate is terrible, it’s poorly positioned in terms of tech growth, it’s very expensive, and it’s now looking to increase (?) enrollment because it needs the bucks.  Discouraging my kid from applying.  Is it time for the school to consider becoming a private college or to affiliate with Tech or something?[/quote]

UNC and Emory have the same gender balance. [/quote]

Most colleges have this gender balance.  More women than men attend college— on average colleges are almost 2/3 female. [/quote]

Off topic question: does this imbalance in any way benefit male applicants over females?[/quote]
