[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like your kid can’t go wrong.  I don’t know enough about Lewis and Clark to give an informed opinion. But, I have a kid at WM and would say:

If they want to go to grad school, don’t take out loans for WM over accepting the posse placement. It’s not a cheap school, so if you can’t comfortably full pay, strongly consider L&C.

Greek life at WM is a small part of the social scene, because it’s less intense and less exclusive than at many southern schools. This not buying the perfect wardrobe for rush, it’s all about big sports and tailgating, UAB type Greek (WM has a decent football team in a nothing D1 league and is not exactly known for sports).

LGBTQ+ is very accepted on campus. And I say that as a parent of a kid who falls into that category. W&M ranks very well on LGBTQ friendly on lists like niche and Princeton Review. Again, this isn’t a traditional southern school.

[b]If your kid decides to give up posse for WM, apply ED. “My kid shouldn’t have any problem getting into WM” are famous last words in NoVA. [/b]

Good luck!  Reality is your kid will probably be happy and do very well at either school. [/quote]

[b]Our kid was a Posse finalist too and matched with a LAC that was not really on their radar.  They went with W&M RD as the LAC felt too small to them.  Kid let W&M know in an email they made finalist, but really wanted W&M (application to W&M was submitted before the Posse finalist notification).  [/b]

The prior posted made some good points, especially regarding finances.

Good Luck![/quote]

Ha! that was our daughter in 2022.  She did the exact same thing.[/quote]
