[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know—certain slacs like Kenyon and all that, I guess.  But W&M isn’t a slac and it is really trying to emphasize that it’s a university, not a college.  Closest thing that comes to mind is Wake Forest without a med school.  But WF would not be a safety.  It’s just tough to understand how to categorize W&M. So I have no idea.[/quote]

William and Mary has 5 different schools, Arts & Sciences, Business, Education, Law, and Marine Science.  Law and Marine Science are graduate only.  The other three, Arts & Sciences, Business, and Education are fairly typical schools for universities (a number of the most selective schools like Harvard do not have undergraduate business).  The biggest delta with other selective universities at an undergraduate level is probably engineering.  W&M has applied science, but not full blown engineering other than through a 3:2 program.  A university like UVA adds Nursing and Architecture, but the bulk of the undergraduates there are in Arts & Sciences, Engineering, and Business (Commerce).

Wake and Emory are perhaps similar from a size and offering standpoint.  University of Rochester is similar in size but has engineering and also a top music school. [/quote]
