[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - not a cutthroat school.  Lots to do and lots of good stuff to eat & shops within walking distance.
Morning runs through CW, tons of clubs, Greek life is great for mine but not necessary.
My DC is very very happy there
Good luck with your search[/quote]

Is W&M good with merit for high stat kids who don't meet need or are they stingy like VT and UVA?[/quote]

Nope--W&M offers virtually no merit aid--and has so many high stats kids it's hard to differentiate yourself that way.  There are a couple of big merit grants each year.  Others get funding for a summer project.
The one good $ thing about WM is that they are very good at funding kids with need, and will use grants when possible--I guess the other good thing is that [b]most kids who wants one can probably find a research job on campus that pays $18-20/hr.  My kid regularly did 10hrs/wk from Freshman spring on and then worked winter break and summer break.  The nice thing is these jobs build up the resume and are real research work, not just an inflow of cash.[/b][/quote]

THIS!  this carried on into Sophomore year for our kid too and next summer.[/quote]
