<p>Without engaging in cheap attacks on Bowdoin of the kind that slamdunk 45 attempts against Brandeis, Barnard and Bryn Mawr (e.g like pointing out that Bowdoin, although a fine school, labors in obscurity as a small college in Brunswick Maine), I would suggest that the OP look at the qualitative factors for the right fit as, ultimately, they are all fine schools. Here’s my take on the similar choice posed in another post between Brandeis, Bates and Wellsley:</p>

<p>Also, with respect to law school acceptances, I’m not familiar with Bowdoin’s acceptance rates, which I’m sure are fine. However, I do know that Brandeis students have excellent rates of acceptance at top law, medical and other graduate schools. As an interesting example from elsewhere on this site, a list of colleges with the highest placement ratios at Harvard Law School in 2006 puts Brandeis in the top twenty. Bowdoin is not on the list.
