<p>aum my sat was very high- higher than W&L average...</p>
<p>and in my school- the "uva rejects or waitlisted" candidates chose W& L- there were two..</p>
<p>its hard to agree but W&L is just a refuge for the rich preppy kids who cant make it through the competition of the ivies+duke, and top public elites like uva and UNC</p>
<p>AW yes the old Apocryphal tale used in conjunction with some sort of put down. Very Silly.</p>
<p>I wish I were a rich preppy kid . . . even if it meant I couldn't make it through the competition of the Duke and Ivies</p>
<p>how about just writing the novel about being a rich preppy kid? don't forget to throw in the angst about inherited wealth, hating the parents for being successful, etc. it could be a great comedy.</p>
<p>as for dio--i've looked at other postings and it seems that both a parent and a child are using it making consistency confusing (we've done it here and it does make for some interesting conflicts).</p>
<p>i have to say a few things that have previously been posted/mentioned. if you're coming to this school don't buy the sheets that fit the bed--any xl will do. don't do the microwave and fridge thing. you can buy it cheaper at walmart and get a NEW micro and fridge. i am really ticked off at the condition of the crap--yes crap--put in my kid's room. i'm still waiting on the vendor to replace it (it will NEVER happen) but i'll be filing a complaint with the better business bureau and at least get some venting that way. other than those two items, life is very, very ,very good. what a great school.</p>
<p>My daughter has been accepted to Williams and is a finalist for the Johnson Scholarship. How would you say the two schools compare?</p>
