[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Senior DD is looking at Mary Washington for an unusual major that’s very strong at UMW. Neither DD or our family in general are rankings snobs, so I’m not worried about the fact that she has the stats for higher-ranked schools. She’s much more concerned about the strength and opportunities within her major.

Can anyone tell me about the student body at UMW? Could a nerdy out-of-state kid find her people? How’s the school in general? [/quote]

Very dear friend's son went there after getting waitlisted at UVA and VT and William and Mary, as an "average" gpa student at a governor's school who had SAT above 1400 (around avg at this gov school). He was bored out of his mind, said MW was ridiculously easy, similar to his 10th grade gov school year, before he did all the APs.  He found the peers nice but not smart at all and not academically inclined. The plan the whole time was get the 4.0 for the first year and transfer. He got into all three as a transfer and graduated UVA 2 yrs ago. UVA was not super hard for him but was double the work of MW. [/quote]
