[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMW's place in the Virginia state school pecking order has dropped fairly dramatically over the last 20 years.  It used to be a solid number 3 in admissions standards - after UVA and William & Mary.  Now it's nowhere close to that. [/quote]
Which VA schools moved up in admissions standards in the past 20 years to displace it?  [/quote]

I'm not sure what standards PP has in mind.  UMW has dropped, but it's been considered below UVA, W&M, and VT for far longer than 20 years.  Now it's considered below JMU and possibly GMU and CNU as well - probably on par with VCU. [/quote]

That's too bad. I never kept up with the bigger VA state schools but I went to UMW and it was lovely. Small-ish, small classes, nice students, not overwhelming social life with something for everyone as far as I could tell, and still had sports and clubs and groups...just not centered around greek life.

My education was robust. And we had a babysitter recently who graduated from UMW in the past 5 years. She was sharp and a student athlete, and I have to imagine if she did well there it is still a place for good, smart kids.

I'd consider it for my child for sure. [/quote]
