<p>Longwood’s common data set indicates that only 0.61% of bachelor’s degrees conferred were in math and statistics, or about 3 math and statistics majors per year. Probably great for faculty attention, but the course offerings appear limited, and you may not have many fellow students.</p>
<p>This may be related to only 8.5% of entering freshmen coming in with SAT math scores of 600 or higher, with only 0.4% with 700 or higher. (A University of Oregon study found that students with SAT math scores under 600 had very little chance of success in math and physics majors.)</p>
<p>Note that Longwood has about twice as many female students as male students.</p>
<p>As others have said, don’t worry about prestige or where others are going. But do take a careful look at the academics to make sure that they are suitable.</p>
