<p>W&M is academically challenging but no one is admitted who is not up to the challenge. Those students who want to attend W&M generally don’t want to cake walk through college. The intellectual academics are part of the appeal. A pressure cooker however it is not. There’s little if any academic competition among students. Students study together, share notes, etc and professors are very open to working with any students who feels he/she needs assistance. </p>
<p>Additionally, most W&M students are accepted into grad school and those who apply to law school are accepted at rates 15-20% higher than the national average. W&M’s reputation is very well known among graduate schools and employers and thus graduates are very successful.</p>
