Amherst 100%.
Most prestigious and I would highly recommend attending a liberal arts colleges prior to medical school (I'm a doctor).
You want a broad and interesting background prior to 4 years of straight science.
Most of the best doctors I know went this route.

1. Michigan
2. W&M due to cost
3. Indiana
4. VT due to cost solely as to why over Penn State
5. Penn State.

Assume wants to be in DC area. If NYC, would definitely go all in on trying to get into Michigan. I think cost savings still good for W&M in two if NYC.

Math major, likely double major with a social science
Values the scholarship and learning above all. Wants to be among smart people really interested in learning. Doesn’t care about frats or social atmosphere, doesn’t care about sports. Wants a diverse campus.


Will also add that with merit aid from CW and Pitt, costs are within striking distance of UMD (in-state for us). Emory is dramatically more expensive — like more than $100K more over 4 years. No need-based aid coming.

Case Western 100%. I went there and he sounds like a perfect fit for the school.
Lots of smart kids, little emphasis on sports or frats. Diverse.
Great for STEM but interesting humanities departments as well.
I really liked Cleveland--great arts scene and restaurants. It's an underrated city.

That is a weird perspective for any 18-year-old to have. You sure your kid really doesn't care about any of these things?

Emory then transfer to main campus. I hate Emory lol and I am saying it. My kid EDed there to both campuses and didn't get in so we got beef (several years ago). It's okay she is at a top school.
