<p>macsuile,</p>
<p>regardless of what your opinion is of what your own schools admissions page says - i simply state facts. that is what william and mary and uva posted. i’m sure that when the cds comes out they will reflect what the admissions profile that the admissions office posts… also, i’m curious where you get this 37% and 33% numbers from. Also, even if you go by past statistics, UVa’s marginally lower SAT scores can easily be justified by the fact that it has a marginally higher %tage of students in the top 10% of their class.</p>
<p>the colonial college thing doesn’t matter. i don’t know why you think it “gets under my skin.” rutgers is a colonial college and i don’t see that doing much for them. as if the people at schools like stanford, mit, cornell, etc. care if they are colonial colleges. practically no one even knows what a colonial college is. hinging onto an obscure fact doesn’t mean much to anybody…except you.</p>
<p>yes, UNC’s overall applicant pool is slightly less impressive than w&m’s, but UNC’s OOS applicant pool is well known as being very prestigious and selective. If you have nothing to back up your claims then don’t. UNC’s OOS applicants and especially acceptees are extremely qualified. Also, I love how when UNC has a lower acceptance rate (19% vs. 22%) its “negligibly lower” and “less impressive” but when its 22% vs. 23% or 24% (which is overall, not OOS) of duke or gtown its “the lowest oos acceptance rate in the south” even though gtown (which really isn’t the south) and dukes student body is more impressive that w&m’s. you may not be consistent with your arguments, but you are comical.</p>
