W&M easily if you can afford it. Only thing to keep in mind is that Mason is not direct admit and I think it has around a 30% acceptance rate

I believe it is about 60%.

+1 At least. Plus, rolling admissions.

OMG, the difference between someone who stereotypically would apply to Fordham vs Oberlin is like the size of the Grand Canyon. What is student looking for?

Went to a catholic high school so included Fordham as a safer admit given Catholic pipeline. Interested in humanities. - anthropologie or english

I would go VCU given the scholarship.

Only because the kid is premed, I agree. If med school is the goal, all that matters for undergrad is MCAT, GPA, and saving $$$.

Where would your kid rather start their business career? If Chicago, go to Wisco. If Atlanta, go to UGA.

He says he doesn't know and doesn't care. In other words, he won't pick based on that. I find it hard to believe he can't find a job in Chicago if he goes to UGA or a job in the south from Wisconsin - but maybe I'm clueless. If I had to guess, I picture him living in Chicago over ATL

Cost is not an issue. Thanks!!

Oberlin has excellent grad school and med school outcomes

Yes, Oberlin claims 70% of their med school applicants get in somewhere.

Kid wants a more competitive cohort to much of my surprise!! Which of these schools are more rigorous with students that are more driven? More selective? Hard to compare Oberlin to UIUC or VT or Pitt.

It would be between UVA, VTech, and VCU. Since you can find pre-med students at a variety of colleges at different price points, the decision isn’t always about the cheapest option. There is some evaluation of best school in case you pivot, track record with med school acceptances, availability of career enhancing experiences like undergrad research or opportunities at the nearby hospital, support/cohort and general college environment balanced with the cost.

Fordham. I could only see picking Elon over Fordham if cost is an issue or your kid woke up one morning and decided they would be miserable living in NYC for college.
