<p>I was accepted by several schools, but now I don't know where to go! Is Georgetown, UVa, or William and Mary better for premed (in terms of advising, medical school acceptance rate, and competition) and science (for biology, chemistry, physics; are the departments big/small? do the sciences have enough resources/funding for research opportunities?) For Georgetown, I was accepted in the college, echols for UVa, and monroe scholars for WM, if that makes a difference at all. I plan on visiting, but I have a feeling that I won't be able to just like fall in love with any of the colleges because I am so indecisive. Advice from all would be great! :)</p>
<p>I also was accepted by VCU and its guaranteed admissions program with a scholarship, but should I still consider it b/c it's not exactly prestigious as the other schools?</p>
<p>Thanks! I was kinda leaning toward those two as well b/c William and Mary is so small and I think I would feel trapped...but maybe small = more attention from professors and such? I don't know...</p>
<p>I just spent the weekend at William and Mary, and I was with Monroe and Murray scholars the whole time.</p>
<p>The lack of attention that this school receives is unjust. It's such a fantastic place, with so much incredible history and arguably the most impressive list of alumni from any public university. The student body is rich with diversity and the campus is gorgeous.</p>
<p>You mentioned faculty attention - you should really think about this. I guarantee you'll get it at W&M! Even as just a guest on campus, I was treated with so much faculty interaction from so many departments - it was AMAZING!</p>
<p>I really think you should consider William and Mary. Too many kids pass it up because they don't know enough about it. It deserves a place on the "top universities" page of CC; it kind of makes me mad that it's not there, because the undergraduate education is easily stronger at W&M than it is at UNC, Michigan, Berkeley or UCLA. The focus on teaching and undergrad research makes a HUGE difference, but you can't really feel it until you get on campus and talk with professors.</p>
<p>ReninDetroit has it right- seriously, just think about William and Mary. I wholeheartedly agree with him.</p>
<p>You can have an amazing experience there, for sure. So don't disregard it--it doesn't seem at all like the kind of place where you would be trapped-there are many different kinds of people there.</p>
