[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my expensive and high performing private school in the 1990s, Michigan, Madison and UVA were all well-regarded OOS flagships. These three and Berkeley were the only respectable public schools that carried the same oomph as the lower T25 private universities.

Don't recall much interest in UCLA.

There were a number of schools significantly moe selective from OOS than Wisconsin, including UNC and William and Mary.[/quote]

Sadly W&M's ranking has taken a hit. More Pell students are needed to boost rankings. [/quote]

It isn't just Pell, USNWR removed alumni giving rate and class size from its ratings and lowered student faculty ratio.  W&M was close or at the top in all three of those categories among national public universities.[/quote]

Times have changed. Colleges need to adapt and do more for Pell students if they care about the ranking. [/quote]

But it does - it generous with financial aid for in-state students.  W&M guarantees scholarship aid that covers at least the cost of tuition and fees for in-state Pell Grant eligible students.  It is one of the lowest cost in Virginia for students with family incomes under $110K.  [/quote]

You're missing the bigger picture. More Pell kids need to be admitted. [/quote]

No, I got that.  I suspect they are trying to get more Pell kids to apply with generous grant aid.[/quote]
