[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s nothing wrong with UMW. It’s a good school. For some reason it’s slipped in the VA state school pecking order, but that might be because others have gotten hotter while UMW hasn’t. The gender imbalance is a turn off for many. It does have a reputation as more of a women’s college. [b]It’s a great choice for someone who can’t get into William & Mary. [/b] I doubt it’s a school for a “baseball standout” who is turned off by “preppy nerds” though. [/quote] This is its niche among VA schools. Its challenge is that the kids who just miss W&M have a lot of other options with LACs that give good merit and aren't as off balance in the gender split. I think UMW has slipped in the pecking order because CNU has become more popular. Students who want that smaller school can now choose between CNU and UMW and CNU seems to appeal more to boys with more sports and a more even gender balance. [/quote]
