<p>Austinhills, My son is a Williams graduate. Williams has excellent sciences and academics overall. Excellent English with good writing focus. Double (or even triple) majors in disparate discipines are common. Very strong pre-med advising, internships, research opportunities. </p>
<p>It is rural and insular but rates highly on the nurturing, supportive scale. Liberal, but not overtly political. Williams generally does not offer merit, however, your daughter may qualify for the Tyng scholarship. This award is ostensibly need based, but I’m not sure how need is determined.</p>
<p>Blithely ignoring her women’s and Southern go no zones 
I would suggest that your daughter look at Emory. Most likely she could qualify as an Emory scholar.</p>
<p>And at Smith, which offers excellent sciences and generous merit. It’s also part of a five college consortium which opens up more social options.</p>
