[quote=Anonymous]Among all public universities, William and Mary is likely most similar to Ivy schools like Brown across a number of key categories, including undergraduate enrollment size, student-to-faculty ratio, class size, percentage of undergraduates living on campus (most of the Ivy league is residential), and alumni giving rate.  It is close in metrics like 4 year graduation rate, percentage of undergraduates going on to earn PhDs and Fulbright scholarships, and does well in student surveys of teaching quality.

However, Brown still does better than William and Mary on pretty much all of the above (the possible exception being the most recent 4 year graduation rate, which may be Covid influenced).  It is simply impossible for any public school to compete with an ultra-selective private in these areas.  You would have to factor cost differential.  The Monroe scholarship is a benefit in William and Mary's favor, and Monroe recipients likely have Ivy-level stats.  Overall, though, Brown 25th percentile SAT and William and Mary's 75th percentile are about the same, showing the approximate overlap.  Ivy League schools are just uniformly super selective these days.[/quote]
