[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes i don’t see why people say W&M is so competitive. I just checked our school. last year the acceptance rate was 44.4, the ED acceptance rate was 100% with an average 4.35 and 1310.  No way in hellllll are you getting in VT engineering with those stats unless you have something really special.

My kid is also a stem kid, and W&M is not on his radar. it’s VT, GT, UMD, UTAustin, TAM, UF, and Auburn.

As someone in industry, I would NEVER ADVISE any kid to pursue any sort of engineering program (and CS sits in engineering schools) to go to a program that isn’t ABET accredited. My company [b]won’t even hire an intern from a college that isn’t ABET accredited so we don’t recruit or consider W&M  for internships. [/b]

I’m sure W&M is a great school just not for CS. [/quote]

Your post is misleading. Most of the schools in the top list (except Berkeley and Stanford), and those like them, are ABET for their computer engineering programs (which is is what the PP specifically references).[/quote]
