[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems to me that it doesn’t really have a bright future as a public school.  In a time of increased popularity for many Virginia public universities, William & Mary seems to be caught in a downward spiral. Its application numbers are stagnant, its female-male ratio is ridiculous, its acceptance rate has increased to almost 40 percent, its yield rate is terrible, it’s poorly positioned in terms of tech growth, it’s very expensive, and it’s now looking to increase (?) enrollment because it needs the bucks.  Discouraging my kid from applying.  Is it time for the school to consider becoming a private college or to affiliate with Tech or something?[/quote]

UNC and Emory have the same gender balance. [/quote]

For 2018 entering class, UVA was 57% female, VCU 64%, JMU 59%, Longwood 69%, CNU 56%, MWU 66%, Radford 59%, ODU 53%. Only male majority were VT at 55% male and VMI at 83% male. GMU was 50/50. UNC-CH was 59% female.  National is close to 58 percent.

VCU is 64%?  That’s insane![/quote]

Not really. Colleges are now 60% female on average— or more. VCU is known for fine arts and health sciences. Women are more than half of men school admits and much higher than that at the nursing and other lower level health sciences.  They also dominate fine arts.  Just like no one should be shocked VT has more me. Supply and demand. [/quote]
