[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W&M alum here. I loved my experience. The professors were amazing - invited us over to their homes, small seminars, etc. It all really depends on what you choose to study though. All my friends and I look back fondly on our experience. Several things to consider:

1 - Not enough national recognition for the amount of work and quality of education

2 - Not a lot of diversity

3 - [b]No grade inflation - so it may be much harder to get into grad school[/b][/quote]

The gradeinflation.com site referenced shows average GPA of 3.33 in 2014 and has been rising steadily over time.  UVA was 3.32 in 2013 as a point of comparison.  Virginia Tech is lower.

Re grad school, there is also a site that tracks undergraduate institutions of PHD recipients (based on government data).  If you adjust for size of student body, it appears to show W&M is the top producer on a per capita basis among public schools.   Some institutions like Yale Law and UVA Law list undergraduate institutions attended for their classes, and it shows W&M does comparatively well against public schools.
