<p>ok, so i have two choices University of Texas or William & Mary. i really wanted to go northeast but got rejected from schools up there (ivies and what not), so since that dream is crushed, i can either stay in Texas or just go east coast. I was just mainly wondering how well-known/prestigious W&M is... and is it worth paying the extra $15k to go there (money isn't that big of an issue since parents are paying but its still $15k).</p>
<p>Also, im waitlisted for UVA, and i was wondering what my chances are of getting in. plus its comparison to W&M...cuz as of right now, i think i like UVA more than W&M</p>
<p>some of my views:
so UT has a good business school, even though i didn't get in the honors, it's still good nonetheless, but im not really sure if i wanna do business, so W&M might be good for this point w/ the business program that you apply for end of soph year (gives me 2 years to decide if i really wanna do business). also W&M apparently has a pretty crappy sports grade, so maybe the competition to join intercollegiate team is less so i can join the intercollegiate track team? cuz im just decent not really really fast...</p>
<p>sorry if this is long, first post =)</p>
<p>actually W&M has a pretty darn good track team. They tend to be good in the non revenue sports. They actually made the semifinals in 1 AA football about 3 seasons ago.</p>
<p>Reputation is really good at W&M, especially if you aren't sure of your major. It has really small class sizes, and professors teach all classes.</p>
<p>Totally different feel than UT, but...depends on what you are looking for</p>
<p>W and M severed official ties with the British in 1776, and we like to insult them...</p>
<p>why dont u go party with brian - o wait, hell be at AandM every weekend</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>more ideas... =)</p>
<p>also, W&M is more of an ideal size, i don't really like big schools like UT. as for the track team, i've seen the stats and stuff, they are pretty good mainly longer distance stuff, i was thinking of running the 400m. </p>
<p>what exactly is the party scene like at W&M? i mean i heard it's more studying and everything but im sure there's a bit of partying too =)</p>
<p>Party at the frat houses, not much else, at least there wasn't back in the day when I went there.</p>
<p>Try going to the college section and post your questions in the William and Mary section, you can get lots of good advice from current students.</p>
<p>It definitely has a liberal arts college feel to it due to its smaller size of 6000 undergrads</p>
