<p>William</a> & Mary -*W&M to add more Virginians to entering class</p>
<p>Just spotted this on the website - it looks as if the political pressure brought to bear on W&M and UVA will result in an increased number of in-state students at both schools over the next 5 years. W&M will accept an additional 38 VA students this year (good news for the in-state applicants!), gradually increasing to a total of 150 additional in-state students. They'll also add 12 OOS students to the incoming class this fall.</p>
<p>Interesting article - I think even more highly of Taylor Reveley and other W&M administrators after reading it. The increase appears to be done in such a way as to maintain W&M's character and high-quality student body, while (one hopes) getting a bit of breathing space from the politicos. The article makes the point that those grabby :rolleyes: OOS students represent 35 percent of the student body but almost 2/3 of the tuition revenue.</p>
