[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just find it odd none of my son's friends from various high schools in the area had no interest in applying to W&M. Many of them chose in state schools (UVA, VT and JMU). W&M is such a highly regarded school and it is so surprising to me. [/quote] Quite a few kids buy into these perpetuated stereotypes about schools without really doing due diligence on their options. I had a friend who went to JMU but was accepted to W&M (and also UVA which I'm sure will shock people on this board). He loved JMU, but when he visited me at W&M one time (and we'd been drinking a bit), he said essentially "what the hell was I thinking?" about choosing JMU. When he sobered up the next day, we were back to our old school pride joking. On the flip side, I think JMU did fine for him. People make too much of these choices. You can by and large do fine from a number of starting points. In the long run it is much more you than the school. [/quote]
