[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks all. To clarify, I’m looking at options for students with high stats and an in-state budget who still may get rejected from W&M/UVA, but the student is not that excited about Tech/JMU as alternative schools. I understand to get merit they won’t be as highly ranked at WM/UVA. Where else should we look? Thanks to those who already answered. [/quote]

OP here. Should add that we want DC to be within a 6-8 hour drive. Don’t want to deal with airfare and such. So probably places like Grinnell are out, although I’m sure it’s lovely.[/quote]

Do they find UVA more appealing or W&M? That preference would tend to lead to different target/safety schools.

Within your distance limit, I know kids who wanted UVA who are now at U of SC, U Mass, Rochester although more ended up at JMU, VT, or VCU (the pre-meds at VCU)
Those who liked W&M are at schools like Dickinson, Mount Holyoke, SMCM.[/quote]

Right now they think W&M but DH and I went there so they are probably biased although we’ve really tried to remain neutral (and we truly don’t care!) Our main fear is they get shut out of both. Not that excited about either Tech or JMU. [/quote]
