[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it's not. Perhaps within the state of VA.

I'd define "prestigious" as a school that has for a long time viewed as elite not just by the wealthy/well-educated, but also by the vast swathes of the population.

Outside of Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, Princeton, I don't think any top privates even would be considered prestigious nationally. Doesn't mean that they aren't prestigious regionally.

Sorry you or your loved one didn’t get it. It’s a great school especially for instate Virginians and it’s students score well in world wide competitive scholarships like Rhodes, Marshall, etc. My DD is at Ixford now for grad work (from UVA) and says there are a lot of W&M students doing grad work at both Oxford and Cambridge [/quote]
What an idiotic post that does not refute any of what PP said.

Getting Rhodes, Marshall, etc. does not make a school prestigious. That students go on to actually prestigious schools like Oxford also does not make the school prestigious. [/quote]
