[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMW's place in the Virginia state school pecking order has dropped fairly dramatically over the last 20 years.  It used to be a solid number 3 in admissions standards - after UVA and William & Mary.  Now it's nowhere close to that. [/quote]
Which VA schools moved up in admissions standards in the past 20 years to displace it?  [/quote]

JMU, Tech and possibly GMU and CNU[/quote]

JMU and tech were always high in the pecking order. 
It’s GMU and inexplicably CNU’s rise that has bumped Mary Washington down. [/quote]

GMU is so different (big research university) that I don't think it has much to do with the shift. It's really CNU -- similar size, similar student profile in test scores, similar admission rates.  CNU, however, does have a better retention rate/lower transfer-out rate and better graduation rate.  It seems to have more of a "fun" reputation while UMW is seen as more "quiet".  CNU has Greek life and UMW doesn't so that probably contributes to that image.

Is UMW the only VA state school without Greek life or are there any others?[/quote]
