[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heck no it is not better than in-state W&M UVA or VT.

Third tier school that's not worth it without a huge discount.

GWU = kids who couldn't get into Georgetown[/quote]

My kid turned down W&M for GWU, because academics and internship opportunities for his preferred major were better at GWU.

This was a terrible decision.[/quote]

??? That's stupid of you. My child is very happy at GWU. He visited W&M and hated it. He visited GWU and loved it. The dorms and food at GWU are much better than at W&M. He loves the urban campus and the profs of his major.

For us W&M is not in-state. 
The slightly lower acceptance rate of W&M compared to GWU, and the price differential between the two, are not enough to overlook the fact that my kid DOESN'T LIKE W&M.

Where do you get off, hmm?

Different poster here. You should’ve clarified that he was out of state for William and Mary. That’s a difference.  Nobody in their right mind would turn down W&M in-state to go to GW[/quote]

PP you replied to. I disagree. We can afford to send him wherever he wants. I would never send my kid somewhere they didn't want to go. He got into our flagship state U, at less than half the price of GWU, and turned that down too. I'm perfectly fine with that. If there were budget constraints, I would have told him not to apply to privates in the first place.

You don't get to judge other people's college decisions if you don't know their budget and their priorities.
