[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of the high achieving, well rounded kids at my DC's school are interested in William & Mary.  It seems to attract a certain "type"--which tends to be an academic-only (fewer ECs, no sports) student who would be a fit at certain SLACs, but chooses W&M because of lower in-state tuition.

The high achieving, well rounded kids seem much more interested in UVA, with VT as a safety school.  Then looking at privates like Georgetown, Duke, Emory, and Vandy.    [/quote]

That is a shame for the kids at your DC's school, then. My kid was a 2 sport Varsity athlete with great ECs. Currently participating in a club sport, Model UN, signed up for another club and just secured an internship for next semester as a freshman. As for what is wrong with William & Mary- I don't really think anything (the food is not great), besides dated perceptions.[/quote]

All is well, then, when applications to other VA publics are booming, but applications to William and Mary are not?  All is well when the acceptance rate is getting perilously close to forty percent?  [/quote]
