[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if the JDP program at WM is counted here but if so, it’s about 50 kids from VA (I assume they count WM as the starting point). The program aims for only 25 kids total per year but it’s  become extremely popular and the yield has doubled. Apparently they tried to tighten it up in 2024 to drop the number of kids back down to 25 and it didn’t work. [/quote]

That’s a ton of money being tossed around.  Bit surprised they didn’t try to expand to 100.[/quote]

Most of the program participants are out of state and the costs are similar.

The program requires dedicated staff and advisors at both schools. I suspect keeping it small helps with this.  Also one of the draws is that the kids in the program do a class/activities together and become quite close. I think that is viewed as one of the program’s benefits as the kids go back and forth between the schools.

FWIW, this doesn’t mean the kids in the program only hang out with each other. My kid has a separate group of WM friend and is rooming with hall mates in a flat at StA.  [/quote]
