DD would rather go to college with the troll’s fake DD than with any real offspring of the pot-stirring troll.

Happy for our Yorktown admit above. I'm a W&M alum and glad to have her aboard!
Everyone should steer clear lest you get accidentally whipped during the self-flagellation.

Ugh.
There is something rotten in the state of college admissions...
W&M historically gets almost twice as many apps from girls than from boys, so it's really tough for OOS girls. I'm sorry your DD is disappointed. I hope she has another choice she can get excited about.

If those are both true, I am disgusted. DH and I are immigrants, and not white, but I firmly believe we should all be judged on academic merit when it comes to college.

Lol okay troll my post if you’d like. I’m happy for any URM or first gen student that shoots their shot. I’m white and was first gen back during my time and have done pretty well. Our DD has a few good options at other schools and she’ll do just fine. If someone else’s DC gets to shoot their shot at W&M, it’s all good.

Where did you see that? What to cite it to make a reject feel better.
Sorry, reject -- you're not one of the 98 percent. More than 2 percent got in.
That’s totally fine – still just wondering what the acceptance rate is and where it’s cited.
