Congrats on the two acceptances! I can’t speak to Peddie, but my sisters both went to Madeira, and both look back on it fondly and feel that it prepared them well. Both have had very satisfying careers in medicine.

The co-curriculum internships program Madeira offers was especially interesting for them. Both interned on Capitol Hill, one of them for an MD who became a Senator, where she began thinking about medicine. She then interned at NIH her senior year, which only further convinced her that medicine was the path she wanted to go down. Both did well academically (one to U Wisconsin, then on to UCSF for med school, the other to William & Mary and then UVA for med school), and have enjoyed their work as doctors.

I’m guessing you’ve visited the campus, but if not, it’s jaw-dropping.

Congrats again!
