<p>swish,</p>
<p>i didn’t say that the people that work in CW were weird, my friend at w&m said they were weird. if it matters, i have met 1 kid who does work there, and i thought he was weird…although my experience with 1 person isn’t at all conclusive of the entire group. however, in my opinion is asked, any group of 18-22 year olds who are so into colonial US that they participate in revolutionary reenactments is most likely a group of at the very least nerds and more likely than not, weird.</p>
<p>here, think of it this way. I love star trek and know tons about it. That makes me kind of a dork. fine. however, you won’t see me dressing up like a klingon any day soon and going to star trek conventions–that would make me weird.</p>
<p>globalist,</p>
<p>the article says that w&m received a record number of applicants this year, i don’t think that means less people are applying. however, less people have been choosing to attend.</p>
<p>while i was being somewhat facetious with the comment about w&m being the hotter school, it has historically gotten more applications per spot than UVa has. its a simple numbers game–most people who apply to UVa from Virginia apply to W&M, and I bet many OOSers do also. W&M usually gets arond 10,000 applications and UVa usually gets around 15,000 (this year was unusual), yet W&M has around 7500 less undergrads. Of course, W&M has no where near the yield rate that UVa has, which attributes to the similar acceptance rates. If W&M had the same yield that UVa had, they’d only be accepting 19% of their applicants.</p>
<p>nice to see you back btw!.</p>
