Pre-med at LACs (Haverford, F&M, Lafayette)

Trying to decide between these 3 great LACs, plan to study pre-med. They all have excellent reputation, Haverford is ranked higher, other two are comparably ranked. We did tons of research and visited all these schools multiple times. Talked to pre-med advisors at all three. Moneywise: Haverford - no merit aid, so full price for us, Lafayette and F&M - about $30-35K/yr merit. Laf’s merit is the best, it’s 50% of tuition, so it will adjust as tuition keeps going up. We don’t want the decision to be just about money, but it’s $120-140K over 4 years and we’d like to be clear on the benefits/advantages of Haverford over the other choices. At this stage we are kind of stuck with the decision. We thought Admitted Days would help to confirm/eliminate at least one option, but so far after F&M and Haverford days we are right where we were - both are solid options. Lafayette Admitted Day is next week.
