<p>As noted above, like a number of top LAC’s, Carleton does very well in terms of percentage of alums earning science and engineering advanced degrees; Williams is not far behind:</p>

<p>Congratulations to your daughter. Each of the schools are amazing and she cannot make a poor choice. Please remember that all of the responses you receive are biased towards their school. If the aid is comparable, the best advice anyone can give is for your daughter to visit as many of the schools as possible during their accepted student day and select the one that feels right. If the aid is not comparable, then that should factor into her decision. </p>
<p>Full disclosure - my daughter is a Junior at Bowdoin majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in English. </p>
<p>Enjoy this, it should not be a stressful time.</p>
