Some updates -I’ve gotten down to two options - Williams and Swarthmore. I loved Vassar’s open curriculum, but the campus seemed too small and they didn’t have as great of career counseling servicies as the others. I wasn’t really feeling Bowdoin this time around, the weather wasn’t as great as the first time I went and it seemed pretty dull and depressing, I don’t know if I have it in me to handle the Maine winters. Georgetown was not my vibe. Williams was great. The presentation was super detailed and efficient, and the alumni network is unbeatable. I also love 4-1-4. Swarthmore was also great! The campus was unbelievably gorgeous and I had a meeting with the financial aid department who provided lots of clarity. Williams and Swarthmore’s packages are nearly identical, only difference is summer storage which shouldn’t be a big issue. I am also feeling a lot more open to the challenge and was told that law schools are aware of how difficult Swarthmore classes are, so they see GPAs differently. There’s also the city which is a big push. I’m not sure where to go from here. My family loved both schools and is letting me make the whole decision (which is how it should be), but I don’t know how best to make it.
