William and Mary's median SAT for accepted students this year was 1460 vs. a mean of 1431 at UVA. Just saying.

Oh I think it means something.  It says something about the quality of the applicant pool, the academic self selection that its applicants go through.  And not to turn this into a UVA vs. W&M thread, but UVA's yield is also in the thirties -- 38% in 2016-2017.  Part of the explanation for the low yield for both schools, and this is relevant to the thread,  is the very high costs for OOS students.  Are both still Public Ivy's in the sense originally meant --ie offering a superior education at an exceptional price?  I would suggest only for Virginia residents.  Otherwise both schools are essentially "Duke at a discount." https://www.educatedquest.com/college-william-mary-public-ivy-duke-discount/
 
Whether that's worth it or not for OOS parents will depend on circumstances.  If I were a NY resident and my kid was accepted to Binghampton and also to UVA or W&M, I'd be very tempted to send them south and even incur some financial pain to do so.  Not trying to bust on Binghampton, but it's just not in the same ballpark.  [/quote]
