[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]W&M wants people who want it. They will let in someone with somewhat lower stats if they can see a lot of demonstrated interest and knowledge of what kind of school it is. W&M is great for kids who would like a more artsy, less rah-rah, hype squad scene. So many of the people who choose W&M are not interested in UVA so it isn’t some kind of back up choice. [/quo[/b]te] All true, because W&M is more of a slac feel. But the reality is that parents in Virginia need their kids to get into UVA and W&M (my kid wasn't even a contender - went to one of the others). So often students will apply to both because so many of us Virginians can't afford $81K a year for other institutions and have paid mightily for decades in taxes for our wonderful system. Both UVA and W&M are relatively small compared to the giants of other state's schools, so if you have a high-stats kid they will usually apply to both because both are a financial windfall.[/quote]
