[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what restorative medicine is, but presuming it requires going to medical school, it won't really make any difference between Brown, W&M, and W&L.  Medical school admissions is largely based on stats - GPA and MCAT.  The school will not really make much difference for the vast majority of medical schools.

Unless your child raises SAT/ACT, admission to Brown would be very unlikely without a hook like athletics.  Likewise, the full ride Johnson Scholarships at W&L (or the 1693 Scholarship at W&M) would also not be likely.  They are targeted at enticing Ivy-caliber students.

Johnson Scholarships go to 10% of W&L students, so they tend to pull up stats a bit.  Other than that, W&L and W&M would have pretty similar numbers.  I think she would have reasonable chance at both, but not for merit.  W&M has good aid in-state for low up to lower middle income families.   You would have the TAG, I believe for W&L if in state.

These schools are quite different.  Brown has an open curriculum and tends liberal even for a U.S. college.  W&L is known as being more conservative (again for a U.S. college), while W&M is more in-between (probably center left).  Brown and W&M have over 4X as many students as W&L, which is an SLAC.

Honestly, both W&M and W&L are excellent undergraduate schools.  You really don't get much better than they are for quality of education.  To get merit, she might have to go to a much lower quality school.[/quote]
