I agree with much of what Tribe32 says...but that doesn't preclude the fact that many athletes are denied admission to W&M compared to other schools predicated on our rigorous and non-bending academic standards. It's just something with which our coaches have to work.

And it's not athletes...W&M is more difficult to gain admission into than many of our competitors. It's especially worse out-of-state since the State of Virginia mandates
65% of our admission come from withing the state. Something, by the way, President
Reveley battled during his tenure here...given that state contributions to W&M now hover to just around 12-13%. The fight goes on with our current administration.
