[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How could those stats be accurate?

Vcu accepts more than 90% of its applicants. Cnu acceots more than 76%.

Many kids like our own with high stats have no desire to go to UVA or W&M and apply these schools. Also VCU has a med school auto acceptance program which is popular not to mention many high stat kids apply to these as fall backs.[/quote]

+1. My senior would not even consider W&M. She would have been competitive there, but she's heard too many bad things about it being a pressure cooker full of weird, socially-awkward students, with bad food, and substandard dorms. Also, she wants to do college marching band and hopes to land at a university with a great band program. W&M only has a tiny pep band, so again it was a non-starter.  [/quote]

FYI, CNU has a marching band.

My DD, currently a junior, would also be competitive for W&M. We toured and she HATED it. Felt it was just as described above and the kids I know who go/went there are all a little “off”. [/quote]

DP.  This is *exactly* what my DC said about W&M.  I guess there is a certain type for whom that school is appealing?[/quote]
