First off, your stats look fairly good to me, at least compared to the American student pool, it’s probably harder for internationals.

W&L is the ONLY liberal arts college among the top 25 with a nationally accredited business school, the Williams school has been accredited by the AACSB since 1927. So if you want an accredited business program at a top LAC, W&L is the only way to go. (It’s the same with journalism)

The Williams School (or the C-school as we like to call it) is a very important part of campus, about 30% of University degrees come from the C-School, which is a large percentage considering the vast majority of major choices fall under the College and not the C-School. The C-School has top professors, arguably the best at the University, EVERY member of the C-school faculty has a Ph.D.

In terms of recruiting, career services sponsors many fairs here at W&L and invites many grad programs and major companies to campus for presentations. Also, the C-School sponsors many opportunities for internships with major firms (mostly in New York).

So for accounting, management, ecomomics, politics or public policy majors, W&L is easily the best choice out of the LAC’s.
