Coolbrezze, you missed my point. The students ALREADY IN medical, law, business, and divinity school at Wake Forest will not be competing with undergraduates, and therefore I didn't count them. They have separate law professors, medicine professors, etc. They are not in the same courses as undergraduates and have virtually no interaction with undergraduates or the professors undergraduates will have. An MD student at Wake will not be taking a course in English or Math, nor will an undergraduate be taking a course in Torts or Anesthesiology. Similarly, I didn't count the social work graduate students at Bryn Mawr.

This is why Washington & Lee can have a law school and still be a LAC...its law school has no bearing on the quality of undergraduate education.
