[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Admission rate of 80%, I am sure your DD won't have any problems. [/quote]

Any school with that high of admissions rate will always accept applications after the deadline. They'd probably accept applications right up to the first day of class. [/quote]

SMCM is not a school for everyone.  It offers a solid liberal arts education--a lot of parents discourage their DCs to go that route (how will you earn money/get rich/go to Wall Street with a liberal arts education).  [b]It's not Harvard, Yale or Princeton or even UVA[/b]---according to DCUM those are the only schools worth going to.  It's a little hippie-ish, a lot green and very liberal--so there will be a lot of those URMs and other undesirables that DCUM warns us about.  But what it does have--a beautiful campus, a tightknit community, world class faculty--are in high demand for those who value those things.  The admission rate is so high because those who apply want to go there.  They aren't looking to drum up applications to artificially inflate acceptance rates, they are looking to attract those students who are a good fit and will thrive in its care.  All of this for in-state tuition. A lot of kids who go there are 'one-and-dones'--they want to go to SMCM and they only apply to SMCM.

Long live the St. Mary's Way! [/quote]

That much we all agree.
