[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of these posts go like this: “We visited William and Mary on a dark and rainy day. It seemed depressing, and my kid hated it. Later, we toured JMU. The sun was shining, and we had a great meal. My kid loved it.” If your kid is accepted to both schools, most rational people would choose William and Mary, despite the site visit. And, if the kid chooses JMU because it will be easier, more fun, etc., you didn’t need a site visit to determine that. [/quote] Do you have kids in college yet? Because this is actually not at all how it goes. Many people, including my own kids, knew that W&M was not at all the right fit for them, due to several factors. Even though both were admitted, one chose JMU and another chose an OOS university. And guess what? Both are highly rational human beings who knew exactly where they would fit in and be happy. Rankings only trump all else for people who aren’t particularly self-aware.[/quote]
