@mom2collegekids that’s what my head says, but it’s difficult to say no to jhu when my heart has been set on it for so long, and I actually got in. My parents are also reputation-crazy (but not so much that they won’t let me make my decision) and my mom conflates William and Mary with Franklin and Marshall, which was her safety back in the day, which is to say that William and Mary’s reputation is next to zero in my house.
