<p>What a travesty! I am incredulous that you not only applied to a school that meets none of your criteria, you actually apllied binding ED!! Washington and Lee offers an unbelievable undergraduate experience and many, many deserving students are denied an opportunity to attend their dream school because of the incredible selectivity of the Admisissions office. I am offended that you feel the need to be “convinced” that attending W&L would not be a mistake. Rather, if you have such great doubts, you probably have made a large mistake, and you should try to rescind your binding application. If I sound harsh, it is because my daughter was accepted off the waitlist last year and is having the time of her life at her dream school and it blows me away that a spot in the incoming class could be taken by someone who wants all of us to convince him of the inherent greatness of W&L!!!</p>
