Student presentations at Parents Weekend were impressive (no baking soda volcano projects here). My husband is an engineer and said his company would love to get their hands on kids who have strong science and tech skills and can also speak and write! Interested students (not just upperclassmen) have numerous opportunities to do research during the academic year & summers. No grad students, so all classes are taught by professors. Very high percentage of W&L applicants to med school are admitted. Sorry, don’t know anything about physics department funding. Has your daughter looked at Rice?
