I have a question about W and M and Monroe Scholars. My son was admitted early as a Monroe scholar. He was also recently admitted to UCSD. We are from San Diego. UCSD is a top school, but we fell in love with William and Mary when we visited. My husband is a UCSD alum and we are debating the two schools as far as prestige, grad school acceptance, etc. I did the college tours with my son and he is drawn to the small, beautiful, liberal arts colleges. He didn’t like UVA and didn’t apply. His reach dream schools are Princeton and Duke, but it is such a slim chance those will turn into acceptances. So, we are debating these two schools. Can anyone speak to William and Mary that is from the East Coast? He will likely try for grad school on the East Coast (possibly law school) and curious how William and Mary would prepare him vs UC system. I love the school and think he would be happy there vs. a crowded UC.
