<p>I have been admitted to both colleges off the waiting lists and I am wondering whether anyone, especially current students could give me insights about both schools and help me decide where I should go. I just wish to know the differences outside of academics between the two schools since academically they are both up there.
Some stats:</p>
<p>Asian Male</p>
<p>4.08 GPA Rank 4 in class
1450/2160 Superscored
32 ACT
SAT II's: Chinese 710 Math II 770 US History 730
APs: 5 USH 3 Gov, just took Lit and Comparative Gov
ECs include chess, honor council, SGA, basketball, rifle team
Plan to double major in business and poly sci</p>
<p>Why list your stats when you’ve already been admitted?</p>
<p>W&L: Preppy Greek Life dominates the social scene. Small student body. Small town. Do they even have a business school? More conservative politically.</p>
<p>W&M: Greeks are important but not overwhelming. Plenty of opportunities for people to have other social circles. Medium student body. Medium Town. Good Business school with a great new building! more moderate politically.</p>
<p>Size is a major difference between the two schools (and both are great). W&M is bigger than W&L although still far from a big school.</p>
<p>Additionally, W&M is more suburban being only 45 minutes from both Richmond and Norfolk whereas Lexington is a more rural in its surroundings.</p>
<p>W&M is a great hybrid of public and private because it offers the perks generally associated with private schools (residential campus, small class size, individual attention from faculty) with the diversity, research initiatives, and lower price tag of a public school.</p>
<p>Good luck in your decision.</p>
