[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 12:08---you have no idea of the qualifications of the 82% that got rejected.  You have a lot of well-qualified students who would never consider W&L because of the conservatism and Greek life and a lot of southern not-so-bright preppies who desperately want that cocoon.

--native Carolinian who went to high school with lots of not-so-bright preppies who aspired to W&L and settled for Hampden-Sydney (motto:  where 'men are men and women are guests . . . . ")[/quote]

My DC didn't get in. 35 ACT, 36 Superscore, Legacy, several APs, full pay, many ecs and volunteer work. We visited toured officially once and unofficially 2 times. Legacy was told since they graduated at every reunion  that admissions would look fondly on the applications of legacy if they met academic standards. DC was even told to apply for a prestigous scholarship because of their test scores. Neighbors who are alumni were also told the same thing. We were shocked when the local alumni couldn't be bothered to meet with DC and legacy and nieghbor were surprised.

I am clueless. Good luck. Next kid is going the athletic route only.[/quote]

Consider yourself luck DC didn't get in.  The school isn't as good as the posters on this board would lead you to believe.  [/quote]
