[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently took our DS on tours of UVA, VT, Radford, JMU, and UMW.

UMW was our favorite hands down. Beautiful campus, more than enough offerings- no Greek scene (son isn't a partier), ridiculously affordable and small enough to not get lost. All the others minus Radford just seemed so huge and overwhelming. I get that the academics might be stronger at UVA and Tech, [b]but not if you're a middle of the road undecided student.

Why isn't UMW more popular?[/quote]

Well you may have answered your own question. Many students, especially around here, don't want to go to the 149th ranked LAC with a bunch of "middle of the road undecided students."  But if you liked it, by all means apply.  It shouldn't be that hard to get in since the acceptance rate is 82%.[/quote]

What a snarky and incorrect statement. [b]About 95% of my DD's and DS's friends had literally no clue what they wanted to study when they left for school.[/b] And the ones that were [i]certain[/i] they wanted to study medicine and computer science ended up studying education and engineering. A junior in HS is very different than a sophomore in college.[/quote]

A meh peer group.[/quote]

They went to Brown, UChicago, UPenn, Berkley, and Rutgers. How about yours?[/quote]

Yeah right.

You can't even spell one of the colleges.

[b]NOVA CC maybe.[/b]
