[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Don’t take a scholarship at a third-rate LAC over in-state tuition at W&M. [/quote]
I didn't realize they would be considered third rate. 😔 . I am wondering if doing ED at W&M would have been the better path. Oh well. Too late now![/quote]
Yes, if you’re in VA, your DC should have applied ED to W&M. You should check now whether he can switch his application from RD to ED2.[/quote]

ED2 deadline is Jan. 1 so there is still time to switch the application. Contact your area's admissions rep ASAP. Ours was very responsive when DD had a question.

I agree that regardless of whether or not you can pay more, W&M and UVA are hard to beat for value if you are in-state. DD would have liked to try for schools she views as more prestigious, but she didn't quite have the stats and we would have had to take out loans. She will be attending W&M (accepted ED1) and it's been a little tough for her watching friends get into Ivies (though more got rejected), but I am happy that she will graduate debt-free.[/quote]

I will talk to the kid and see what they think. Having not visited in person, applying ED seems a little bit scary.
But you are right. The Haverfords, Swarthmores, Browns..even if they get in, would be a financial reach. The Ursinus, Allegheny would be cheaper than W&M but in terms of prestige/education, W&M seems stronger.  Do you think with their stats, a RD admit is a stretch? Her counselor seemed to think they would be able to get in. 😬
