[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]William and Mary is probably more similar in size and feel to Washington University, Tufts, and Emory if that is what he wants.  UVA is great if he wants a larger school, different experience.  Perhaps schools like Duke, Columbia, Princeton, etc. would provide more opportunities, but I'm not convinced your private alternatives will.  Perhaps focus on that level as reach.  [/quote]

This kind of vague advice is why students fall for the “prestige” factor that may or may not matter for them personally.

It made sense to me.  They were just saying any difference in prestige wouldn't make much difference between the schools mentioned.  It might for schools like Duke and Columbia.[/quote]
I agree giving up in-state tuition at UVA means DC got into a top 10 school. UNless DC qualifies for significant financial aid. Also, Tufts isn't as good as UVA or the others, they just happen to be just as selective but academics wise the others are better. [/quote]

What about 11? Seriously though, where does the arbitrary line exist?[/quote]
