[quote=Anonymous]Current parent with two pieces of advice - 1) Reach our to the college counselors at your school and have your child ask them for the names of recent grads who have enrolled at W&M. Let your child speak/email with them to get their perspective, especially as it relates to grade deflation. I don’t believe the grade deflation reputation, I think it’s an issue of high school grade INflation, where students think their work is an “A” based on high school, but in reality is only a “B”. My child came from local private school and hasn’t felt like there is any grade deflation.  2)W&M wants the intellectual development of your student.  If that is not priority #1 for your student, than it might not be the best fit.  Yes, there are sports, clubs, service and Greek life, students can and do have fun! My student is very happy academically and socially.  But they knew going into it that big football game days wasn’t a top priority for them.  If that is important to your student, than W&M might not be the best fit.
