I went to W&M and I deeply regret it. I started out at a large public school that was ranked higher but didn't like the atmosphere, so I transferred. W&M is academically challenging and known to be grade-deflating, vs other schools that more readily give out good grades. Many people outside of the world of academia and especially the DMV area don't know of William and Mary. Nobody knows of it abroad. I barely graduated with a 3.0 (I had a 3.7 at UCLA). I don't think my grades are good enough to do something post grad at highly ranked schools abroad because I transferred there. They won't know about W&M's reputation for being tough on grades, so they will just think I didn't work very hard. Not the case. Not all schools are created equal. [/quote]

My sister also went to W&M and regrets it. She had just under a 3.0 gpa. She worked for 5 years after graduation, three of which were in Asia and then applied to graduate schools. She was accepted into a graduate program at U Penn under a 2 semester probationary period. [/quote]
