[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emory, CMU, UVA and W&M.  Chose W&M.  Biology, not pre-professional.[/quote]
Was it money?![/quote]

Probably also research opportunities. I heard W&M is a really good place for undergrads to do lab science research. [/quote]

That was definetly part of her decision. She was able to speak to a Professor and some Biology students and felt W&M would provide her very early access to participate in research and that Profs do not shy away to credit student as co-publishers. Due to it's size less competion with grads to get research spots, and a closer connection. With the faculty, while still larger than a LAC so a broader range in topics.

Since she plans to go all the way to Ph.D. and hopefully one day do her own research it semed the most sensible choice financially too. Ignoring she fell in love with W&M after her first visit already.

CMU & Emory were tempting, but in the end too expensive for something she was not 100% convinced of. UVA was her cheapest option of those.  Ignoring money she ranked them W&M, CMU, Emory, UVA.  [/quote]
