My DD is verbally committed to W&M and is getting a “full ride” for her sport. Although she could have played her sport at a higher level elsewhere, she chose W&M for academic reasons. I have a few questions regarding being an athlete at W&M and would love it if any current athletes could help:
- What is the academic support truly like? Has it been easy to get tutors and have your professors cooperated with your travel schedule etc...Any word on possible cost of attendance being paid?
- Have you ever had difficulty getting summer school supported, if you needed it? We have been told that, since she is a female, she shouldn't have any issues with getting summer school paid for, as long as she is in good standing ($ from grants).
- She is planning on majoring in Biology. Have any of you found it difficult to secure research opportunities or schedule labs due to your athletic schedule?
Thanks in advance for any help!
