<p>macsuile, you fail to provide any persuasive arguments supporting your claim (including many things unrelated to making it a selective public, such as med school admittance rate and age of campus) AND you post it in a location that doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>Perhaps it has the highest SAT score (evidence)? By how much (compared to the others)? What if it weights that factor more heavily than other schools? What about it’s small size? Doesn’t that make small acceptance rates less impressive? In addition, no acceptance rate means much without considering the pool from which the applicants are drawn (and I’m not saying W and M’s is bad- it’s quite good, you just act as if acceptance rate means something on it’s own, which it doesn’t). “Commitment to academics” sounds so meaningless and hard to justify. You shouldn’t hijack this thread and instead start a new one in the proper location.</p>
