[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, that's how I read the comment, favorable to W&L. I mean, if the P was trying to distract, they probably would have posted about Davidson's higher ranking v. W&L in USNWR, WSJ and Niche, right?[/quote]

DP . From our northeastern top private Davidson takes smarter higher ranked kids than W&L and Uof R. The latter two are interchangeable and overlap—basically 3rd-4th decile kids who want to go south but cannot get in to UVA or UNC oos, or Wake or Davidson.  [/quote]

WL is a harder admit than UVa[/quote]

False[/quote]

[b]Plus W&Lee is 256.8% more expensive than UVA for in-state. See CollegeSimply.[/quote][/b]

Generally, a student is not applying to both W&L and UVA.  We toured both. DS was turned off by W&L's HUGE Greek presence at 77% of the student body being active in a frat or sorority.  He was also turned off by a 10% legacy figure and W&L continues to promote legacies and is showing no sign of change.  https://ringtumphi.net/8411/news/wl-to-keep-legacy-admissions-after-affirmative-action-strike-down/.  UVA, however, is only 26% Greek and has done away with legacy.  He went to UVA and never set foot in a frat or sorority house.  Also, W&L is $91.700.  UVA instate is $38,000 for the largest college: College of ARts & Sciences.  It was a no brainer.  DS never even applied to W&L.  His stats were too high to consider U of Richmond.[/quote]
