Why do you say UT - great school…popular with those who value academics and balanced experience!
Do you ever read the news? I would not pay one dollar to have my child live or learn in that state.

Their admissions stats indicate otherwise.

This poster must be in a parallel universe! Applications at quality state universities are up everywhere, including at W&M. Also, with test optional wrecking havoc with admissions, W&M is becoming a more popular ED choice in the DMV. As for career outcomes, they have to be considered relative to the majors offered. W&M doesn’t have an engineering program, so those high salaries are absent relative to UVA or VTech. If you compare W&M outcomes to other liberal arts colleges, they are equal or better. Yes, W&M is more expensive than some public schools, but the class sizes and teacher attention is similar to a private school. From that perspective, W@M’s $40k is far below a private school’s $80k, especially for those who don’t qualify for financial aid.
Absolute parallel universe. W&M admitted only 16 W-L grads in 2021. 16! Previous years, it was 50 or 60.
You’re looking at admits. How many applied? W&M is getting more selective and broadening its admission mandate.

Blame Test Optional

Most SLAC have bad location.
It’s not universal. My kid is at Oberlin, and they overenrolled significantly this year. Largest class ever. It’s causing problems with housing and dining.

I don't think you understand the purpose of LACs.
