[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid there.  And honestly Op— if your kid doesn’t want to attend, do him and the WM community a favor and don’t force it.  WM works very hard in admissions, [b]and put so much emphasis on demonstrated interest [/b]and ED, because it wants to create a cohesive community of kids who love where they are.  WM is consistently rated in the top 10 schools in that ion for happiest students, and the kids I know at WM do love being there. And I believe this is because WM considers fit and desire to attend in the admissions process  “Who comes here belongs here” is a big deal at W&M.  If you kid doesn’t think it’s a good fit, listen to him.

If he’s unsure, that’s natural. Go to DFAS and then let him decide. Because in the end, what makes WM special isn’t the traditions, or the Hogworts Express (a favorite of mine) or the class size, or even the professors. It’s the students. An incredibly kind, accepting, hard working but still looking for fun group of kids. Definitely the peer group I want for my student as the navigate newly minted adulthood making decisions without parents looking over their shoulder for the first time.  I just love the personal growth and great decision making I’ve seen from my kid.

Demonstrated Interest - if and how does WM factors this? Most schools do not count this.[/quote]
