[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really - is Richmond truly THAT MUCH better than Elon?   Seems like both are good but not great schools with nice weather where kids have fun and can get decent jobs or get into decedent grad schools if they have good grades.  Agree?   Disagree?[/quote]

Disagree. Just look at the test score ranges on the most recent CDS's from both schools. The 25th percentile at Richmond is higher than the 75th percentile at Elon. You're right that kids from both schools (and from schools like Roanoke and Lynchburg, for that matter) can end up in decent jobs and decent grad schools. But it's also a fact that Richmond is a much better school and brings in a much more accomplished student body. Two things can be true at once.[/quote]

Higher stat kids doesn’t make Richmond a “much better school”[/quote]
DP but I think it does... not to mention their massive endowment. Richmond is a pretty great school.[/quote]

I would go to Richmond.  Even people in the RVA can’t stand the spoiled Richmond kids.
