[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it's kind of known as a nerdy school and not everyone wants their college experience to be in the middle of a 1700s living history museum. [/quote]

OP, are you in state? Kids in Virginia sort into certain schools based on personality and interests. W&M is perceived as a school for the nerdy, theater type kids. Not debating whether this is true or not, just how 17 year olds see it. Also, W&M didn’t have business for a long time and basically every boy wants to go into finance these days. They ALL want a school that offers business, so UVA and VT are the more obvious choices. [/quote]

Well every boy wants finance, data science or engineering. All of which they didn’t have for ages. [/quote]

DP.  Not my boys.  They wanted history and international affairs.  But they definitely didn't want W&M.[/quote]

what did they want?

I appreciate the OP's question, because W&M is on my kid's list too, and I too have wondered the same thing. It's not known as an easy admit from our UVA public, but they do take strong kids every year. Not the tippy top of the class, but very strong kids. They all seem to like it very much. [/quote]
