Choosing Williams just because it’s more highly ranked than Rochester or Case is not a good idea. I think you should do a gut check on this one. Obviously Williams is a great school, but if it’s not for you, you’ve got other great choices. You’re not obligated to accept a place because it admitted you.

I also don’t think that Williams is “much better” than your other choices for what you want to do with your life. If you wanted to be an art history major, maybe; but if you want to be a doctor, not really. It certainly won’t be “much better” for you if you don’t like it, or go reluctantly because you think you somehow should.

Good luck to you.
