Hey everyone,
I think I have a pretty good chance at being accepted into UVA and W&L. I’ll qualify for in-state at UVA, but I’d be shocked to get much help from W&L tuition wise. I’ve already heard back from Hampden Sydney, and (fortunately) I got in. I was able to earn their highest scholarship, which combined with an additional Eagle Scout scholarship, would put tuition at 0 for HSC. How does the academics stack up? I know I’d fit in at all three of these schools, but I don’t really want to be “the smartest” at a place like HSC- my IB high school was extremely competitive (many of my friends were accepted to Duke and Yale this week, a couple to MIT), but I feel it was good for me. I guess I am really looking at HSC as a “backup”. Would the honors program there be comparable to a place like Virginia Tech? I am mostly interested in political science or history if that helps.
Thanks!
