<p>That link to the admissions webpage is unofficial and unqualified. Let’s wait for the official CDS release. It does appear, though, that UVa bolstered its numbers this year by accepting 37% OOS students instead of the 33% that W&M accepted. This may get them into trouble with Richmond.</p>
<p>That Colonial College thing really gets under your skin. It is undiminishable when one considers that the four original US colleges were Harvard, W&M, Yale and Princeton. That’s brand equity and company that Duke and Stanford will never have. Sorry. </p>
<p>Looks like UNC is negligibly lower than W&M (19% vs. 22%) but the UNC applicant pool is typically less impressive than W&Ms. In other words, SATs from the UNC OOS cohort probably average below 1400 whereas W&Ms are above that number.</p>
