I’ve decided on going to Williams College, but I don’t know why I feel I won’t like it. I keep having doubts that it’s the school I should go to. It’s the best school I got into by far (others were CMU, Rochester, Case Western, U miami, Union, and others). I did like Rochester and CWRU, but I think Williams is a lot better academically. I was very surprised to be accepted, but I think being recruited for football helped me. As far as what I want to study, I would like to do pre-med. One reason I am worried is because I feel under-qualified to study pre-med, especially at a rigorous school. I struggled greatly with math and chemistry in high school and I know I have to improve for college. My SAT’s were: 620 Math, 650 CR, 690 Writing. I did visit Williams and the area is very nice with the mountains and all, but I am concerned that I won’t fit in with the school. I am coming from a fairly small high school in the big city of Miami. I don’t know if I will enjoy the rural lifestyle. One of the biggest things is the small classes: I know that because Williams is small, I will have opportunities to get to know people (especially professors) better. I know this will probably help me be more engaged in academics, but I feel like a medium sized/large class would suit my personality better. I did get a fairly good financial package; I am turning down a Umiami(too expensive), U Rochester or CWRU would be my next choice, I feel like I fit in at U R. I may be just worrying unnecessarily, but let me know what you think. Thanks
